Testing of 10 cm $$\times $$ 10 cm Triple GEM Detector Using MUCH-XYTER v2.0 Electronics

Triple GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) detector will be used as MUCH (Muon Chamber) in CBM experiment at GSI, to detect dimuons originating from the decay of low mass vector mesons (Friman et al. in Lect Notes Phys 841:1–980,[1]). CBM will operate at 10 MHz collision rate with maximum particle density of about 0.4 MHz/cm\(^2\) at the innermost part of the MUCH detector layer located immediately after the carbon absorber (Technical Design Report for the CBM Muon Chambers in GSI, Darmstadt, [2]). Here we report the detailed test results of a 10 cm \(\times \) 10 cm triple GEM detector (Dubey et al., Nucl Instr Meth A 718, 418-420, [3]) using a self triggered MUCH-XYTER v2.0 asic.
