Abstract
Tracking properties of GEM/Micro-groove detectors have been studied at a 12 0 GeV muon beam at CERN. Detector efficiency reaches 98% when the signal ov er noise value is equal to similar to 17. Spatial resolution as high as 30 mu has been measured using a Ne-DME (40-60) gas mixture. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
