Description
Our research involves the simulation of Gas Electron Multiplier based detectors which is being considered as a future upgrade for the Compact Muon Solenoid at the Large Hadron Collider project at CERN. The simulation which demands several CPU hours is made possible by the RAAD supercomputing facility at Texas A&M University at Qatar. The two main software applications used are ANSYS, for the modelling of the GEM, and GARFIELD, which simulates the GEM in the desired Electric fields. We are studying the correlation between the gas proportions and their respective gains and efficiency.
