Resumen
Se presenta en detalle la caracterización y la puesta en funcionamieento de un detector triple multiplicador
de electrones gaseoso (triple-GEM). Se estudió la respuesta a varias fuentes de radiación, y se calculó su
eficiencia, ganancia, resolución energética y resolución temporal. Se encontró una resolución energética de
19.5%, una resolución temporal de 40 ns. y una ganancia máxima de 5×106. Concluímos que el detector
puede ser utilizado con confianza en estudios futuros sobre dosimetría médica, ya que su funcionamiento
cae dentro de la región proporcional.
