THGEM based photon detector for Cherenkov imaging applications

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

We are developing a single photon detector for Cherenkov imaging counters. This detector is based on the use of THGEM electron multipliers in a multilayer design.

The major goals of our project are ion feedback suppression down to a few per cent, large gain, fast response, insensitivity to magnetic fields, and a large detector size. Obtained results are presented and analyzed.
