Abstract

In the prospect of an upgrade of the CMS Experiment, an international collaboration is performing feasibility studies on employing large-area triple-GEM detectors for the high-η region (1.6-2.4) of the CMS Endcap, which is currently not instrumented. Given their good spatial resolution, high rate capability, and radiation hardness, these micro-pattern gas detectors are an appealing option for simultaneously enhancing muon tracking and triggering capabilities in this region. A detailed review of the development and characterization of small and full-size (1m x 0.5m) prototypes will be presented. These full-size GEM foils are produced using a novel single-mask etching technique developed at CERN. In addition, we discuss the performance of a full-size trapezoidal triple-GEM detector in a strong magnetic field during a dedicated beam test campaign to address CMS requirements on the detectors.
