Abstract

Gaseous Electron Multiplier(GEM)-based position sensitive detectors are used and planned to be used in several experiments in the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. At present eight triple-GEM detectors are installed in the KEDR experiment at the VEPP-4M collider where they operate in the tagging system measuring momenta of electrons and positrons after two-photon interactions. Several triple-GEM detectors made of very light components are planned to be installed in the DEUTERON experiment at the VEPP-3 storage ring. The first detector of this type is assembled and tested with dedicated electronics. We plan also to build large cylindrical GEM-based detector with two layers of cylindrical triple-GEMs of 60 cm inner diameter. This project is now discussed for the Cryogenic Magnetic Detector (CMD-3) at the VEPP-2000 collider.
