Abstract

We describe the development of a position-sensitive Gas Electron Multiplier detector prototype, providing for
each ionizing event three coordinates: the cartesian X and Y, and U at 45◦
. Simultaneous recording of the
three projections permits ambiguity-free reconstruction of multiple tracks, and aims at operation in very high
intensity radiation fields.
