GEM voltage supply and real-time monitoring

The operation of a GEM requires strong electrical fields that are able to initiate an electron avalanche. These electrical fields are generated by the application of high voltage in µm gaps. The scope of this project was to monitor the electrical parameters of the applied voltages, such as level and current flowing towards the detector. Therefore a real-time monitoring scheme was implemented. Additionally, a scheme for having all the voltages required for the operation of a GEM controllable, is proposed. The work conducted during this time-frame was targeted into developing the necessary parts for the operation of such device, whereas the integration of those into one functional circuit is to be conducted in a future work.
