摘要
Gas electron multipliers (GEM) were introduced to develop a radiation detector which is applicable to medical imaging or luggage inspection systems at the airport or harbor. Two GEM foils were used in the amplifier, and an Ar/CO2 mixed gas was inserted into the chamber at a mixing ratio of Ar:CO2 = 80:20. A two-dimensional X-ray image was taken with a 64-channel GEM detector from an Fe-55 radiation source. We also constructed a 256-channel GEM detector in which 4 charge sensitive preamplifiers were used in a daisy chain. With linear array type readout electrodes, we were able to realize a position sensitive radiation detector. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
