Summary: | A double thick GEM (THGEM) detector with thin THGEM foils and small holes was constructed. In order to optimize the operation parameters of the detector, a simulation study of the detector was carried out using ANSYS and Garfield program. Some important characteristics, including primary electron transparency, avalanche development and the secondary electron loss were calculated. Parameters, such as electric field and gas choice were optimized. |
