Design of an Acquisition System for Monitoring the Current of a GEM Detector

Abstract

. In the development of this work we describe the design proposal of a useful tool for the monitoring of the GEM detector panels in order to measure the current consumption and in this way to know the useful life of the detector, due to in theory the GEM doesn’t produce discharges but in real life there are some small discharges (nano and micro amperes) that deteriorate the detector. In this proposal it is also contemplated to design a software to analyze the interaction of electromagnetic fields within a waveguide that represents the pathways within a printed circuit board using the study of electromagnetic theory in the development of a simulator, which will allow to analyze the effects of these fields in the propagation of the signals that are obtained and to determine if the data obtained are adequate to allow their subsequent analysis.
