Description
A thick gaseous electron multiplier based gas detector, operated at low pressures ~3-4 torrs of isobutane gas is being designed and developed at VECC. The detector shall be used for the detection of highly ionised fission fragments in experimental studies of fusion fission dynamics. The prototype detector consists of three planes, a GEM based anode sandwiched between two wire plane cathodes. The time of arrival of the fission fragments is readout from the anode plane. Future improvements incorporating the position readout (X and Y) of the arrival of fission fragments on the detector, are being planned with simulations being done for the best optimised position of the X and Y readout planes. Details of the prototype detector testing with a 252Cf source and simulation results shall be discussed at the workshop.
