Description

The Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) introduced first time at CERN leverages gas ionization to produce electron ion pair for particle detection It is used in the CMS experiment at the LHC to improve muon detection in the forward region, where high precision and radiation resistance are required. We present the assembly and quality control (QC) tests of GEM detector modules carried out at Panjab University, a GEM production site for the CMS experiment. The QC procedures include gas leak tests, high voltage stability checks, and effective gain measurements, all crucial to ensuring detector reliability and performance before their integration into the system. GEM has emerged as highly versatile and radiation-hard gaseous detector, offering excellent spatial resolution and high-rate capability. In addition to this GEMs offer operational flexibility, ease of handling, and stable long-term performance, making them highly suitable for the evolving requirements of future high-energy physics experiments. This work contributes to the ongoing use of GEM technology in CMS and highlights its potential for future tracking systems at next-generation colliders.
