초록

In this study, we analyze electric field properties in the GEM by using a finite element method. Compared with 3D simulation, modeling of the GEM in 2D rz coordinates is very efficient because of exact simulation results and much saved computational time. The ECE, which is an important measure designating the GEM performance, is estimated by calculating the fractional field-line transparencies. The ECE for various GEM structures and operational parameters are investigated and the results will be presented. This simulation work is very useful for the better design of the GEM.
