Abstract

In this work we present the latest developments in the SAMPA-SRS integration. A software was developed to improve the acquisition configuration, acquisition, and decoding of the data. The complete framework was tested using a triple GEM-based position sensitive detector for X-rays. The detector was operated in Ar/CO2 (70/30) in continuous flow, at atmospheric pressure and made use of a 1 dimension strip readout (200 mu m wide strips at a pitch of 400 mu m) for charge collection. With this detector a position resolution of better than 833 mu m was obtained, with an energy resolution of 14.2% (sigma/E) for 5.9 keV. (AU)
