instability in the TGEM with rims is caused by charge up of the insulator?
lack of productive repeatability of RETGEM is caused by drilling process?

We have to study TGEM/REGEM in more detail

Summary
J-PARC E15 experiment– Search for the simplest deeply-bound kaonic nuclear state,
K-pp, by in-flight 3He(K-,n) reaction
Detector construction is in progress– Solenoid Magnet, CDC, Z-TPC, CDH, 3He Target, and other detectors– CDC works good with expected performances– Z-TPC will be completed in this year– TGEM study is ongoing…
Instability of TGEM with rims Lack of productive repeatability of RETGEM
The goal is to develop the “stable” TGEM/RETGEM.
