ABSTRACT
In this paper, we report on a systematic study of a soft X-ray Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector built with aluminium-clad kapton GEM foils. The primary objective of this research is to comprehend the performance of this type of detector when irradiated with soft energy photons. The results are analysed and discussed with a particular focus on the long-term detector stability, as well as its gas gain and energy resolution uniformity across the detector area. Presented results lead us to the conclusion that the aluminium based GEM detector is a promising device to suppress the X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) background, simultaneously providing very good stability during long-term measurement campaigns.
