Zusammenfassung:A gas electron multiplier (GEM), used to track cosmic ray muons, can have readout electrodes oriented in a helical pattern so that it can fit inside a narrow aperture borehole. The helical orientation of the readout electrodes provides for high spatial resolution and yet is cost effective to manufacture. The GEM can have an insulation layer, a plurality of conduction layers and an inner layer comprising a plurality of helical conductive stripes extending between two ends of the GEM.
