summary and outlook
measurement and reconstructiongain simulationimpact on dE/dx, reconstruction and resolution
motivation for studies of impact on dE/dx
not width of gain distribution but stability of mean interesting
width can be taken into account with calibration
analyses with cuts on dE/dx need stability of gain for differenttracks
example: discrimination of pions and Kaons over dE/dx verysensitive
gain mean variation at most 0.05 to 0.1 sigma(LEP experience)→ 0.25% - 0.5% for ILD with 5% dE/dx resolution
⇒ studies of stability for different regions

measurement and reconstructiongain simulationimpact on dE/dx, reconstruction and resolution
open questions
variations are in critical region for dE/dx measurements
do longer tracks - over more GEMs - see smaller variations?
is bending stable over time?⇒ measurements with applied voltage
influence of grid and upright position?⇒ additional measurements
calibration strategies?
impact on track reconstruction and point resolution?

summary and outlook
bending of GEMs influences dE/dx measurement
stability of reconstruction and resolution will be tested viasimulation
additional experimental test interesting - not in scope of thisthesis
time dependence - voltageupright positionimprovement through grid
grid has a small, tolerable influence
hit efficiency above 85%
more sophisticated studies will follow
impact on track efficiency and resolution will be checked
