摘要：
We present results from our recent investigations on detectors comprising cascaded gas electron multipliers (GEMs) and cascaded GEMs with microhole and strip plate (MHSP) multiplier as a final amplification stage. We discuss the factors governing the operation of these fast radiation-imaging detectors, which have single-electron sensitivity. The issue of ion-backflow and ion-induced secondary effects is discussed in some detail, presenting ways for its suppression. Applications are presented in the fields of photon imaging in the ultraviolet-to-visible spectral range as well as X-ray and neutron imaging.
