Abstract

Abstract: An improved self-stretching technique is introduced to construct gaseous electron multiplier (GEM) chamber with size larger than 1 meter. This new assembly method, called as ``sliding self-stretching'', gives more uniform stretching force and better performance compared to its original version.
