Abstract:
Optimization of the thickness of the GEM planes has been a subject of ongoing investigation. In particular, the copper layers of the cathode, GEM foils, and readout planes are potentially a significant background source. This report discusses GEM thickness and contributions of GEM copper to PVDIS background rates and strip occupancies.
