After ten years of development for high energy physics experiments, GEM detectors demonstrated great robustness, long-term stability of operation, remarkable flexibility and capability to accomplish different tasks in harsh environments.
This technology has entered the field of triggering devices with its application in the innermost region of the upstream Muon station of the LHCb experiment. Such application has required for an R&D on fast and high yield CF4-based gas mixtures, performed by our group in Frascati in collaboration with the INFN of Cagliari, leading to an improvement in the time resolution of a factor of three (down to 3 ns r.m.s.).
Exploiting our established experience, we are starting an R&D on large-size GEM detectors. In the framework of the KLOE experiment upgrade, we are developing a completely new and competitive category of ultra-light, full sensitive vertex detector for high energy experiments, based on a fully cylindrical GEM detector. Moreover several GEM detectors have been realized for photon beam diagnostic and more recently a luminometer is under construction for accelerator machine studies.
