Abstract

Performance of the gas-filled detector prototypes based on the GEM, TGEM, and Micromegas technologies was studied on the test beam of the CERN PS accelerator. Three-component mixtures based on Ar and He were used as the working gas. For all tested detector prototypes, the gas amplification factors were measured, and the detection efficiencies, cluster distributions, and the radii of the charge cloud collected on the readout electrode were estimated.
