Abstract
The absolute photon yield of scintillation light produced by highly ionizing particles in pure CF4 has been measured using a photosensitive Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector. The detector consists of two standard GEMs and a CsI coated GEM which acts as a photocathode that is sensitive to the 160 nm scintillation light produced in CF4. The light yield was determined in terms of the number of s...
