Abstract

In this paper，A MICROMEGAS(MicroMeshGaseous Structure) detector with the amplification gap defined by stretching nylon fishing lines has been described . And its count plateau， gas gain and energy resolution in the condition of a ⁵⁵Fe Xray source and ArCO₂ (10%) mixture gases are measured as functions of mesh voltage. The count plateau approaches 280 V at the count rate of 10³ Hz. The discharge rate is less than 10^－4 when the gas gain is up to 10⁴. The energy resolution is 30% (FWHM) based on －800 V mesh voltage. The position resolution is less than 120 μm at the condition of the sensitive area (50 mm×50 mm) Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and its strip pitch of 400 μm. The results can satisfy the basic demand of MICROMEGAS detector preliminary design.
