摘要

Thick gas electron multipliers (THGEMs) are new types of gas detectors with merits such as a high counting rate,anti-radiation,high gain,robustness and relatively low cost.We establish an up-down THGEM detector hodoscope system for detecting and displaying muon tracks.Muon tracks can be well observed with the detectors and the present study lays an important technological foundation for the domestic and mass production of THGEMs.
