The detector was operated with a mixture of Ar+CF4 using 5.48 MeV alpha particles obtained from a 241Am source and the GEM scintillation was concurrently read by a CCD camera and a photomultiplier. Precision collimators were used to define the track orientation. Qualitative results on the accuracy of the track angle, length and charge deposition measurements are presented. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4428 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0168-9002(04)01609-2 | Rights: | openAccess |
