Abstract
Thick-GEMs are structures of the type Micropattern Gaseous Detectors - MPGD - consisting of printed circuit boards with a thickness of 0.5mm, with 0.5mm diameter holes drilled in a hexagonal matrix with a pitch of typically 1mm. They work as radiation detectors by emerging them in a suitable gas mixture and by applying a potential difference between both sides, generating a very high elec…
