Description
Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors have been used in various applications because of their outstanding spatial and time resolutions, high-rate handling capabilities, and design flexibility. GEM detectors are a potential instrument for nuclear and particle physics studies. The GEM detector operates in an environmentally friendly and sustainable gas combinations. The purity and quality of the gases are essential for the stable operation of GEM detectors. Impurities in a gas mixture and ambient conditions significantly impact the detector's operational performance. In this talk, we will discuss the ever expanding uses of sensors that offer more practical and affordable systems for monitoring environmental conditions inside detectors and hence allows us to control its performance. The sensor has been integrated with a monitoring system and tested ambient deep inside the detector’s volume. Data from these tests were used to evaluate the performance of the detector, refine the results, and validate their applicability in the variable conditions. Gas chromatography of the flushed gas has been done to establish the aging effect and the ways to mitigate it. A correlation between gain and various parameters like temperature, pressure, humidity, and gas contaminations have been established, which proved extremely critical for the optimal performance of the detector.
