A new integrated photosensor for gas proportional scintillation counters based on the gas electron multiplier (GEM)

The performance of a novel integrated photosensor for use in a xenon gas proportional scintillation detector is described. Earlier integrated photo-sensor designs were limited in charge gains due to the onset of electrical breakdown, which was ascribed to optical positive feedback from scintillation...
