This report details the construction and quality assurance processes of six large-scale GEM detectors developed under the GEM collaboration for the CMS experiment. It outlines the assembly techniques for prototypes, including the installation of GND connectors and adjustment screws. Quality control measures on GEM foils involve applying high voltage and measuring leakage currents to ensure performance meets specifications. The report highlights improvements in mechanical assembly processes and the availability of tools for assessing gain uniformity across various sectors.

GEM foils quality control • Sector to test from -50V to -500V by step of 50V. • High voltage applied on the top, bottom and first neighborssectorsconnected to ground. • Measuring the leakagecurrent
Expectedleakagecurrent • Kaptonresisitvity ~1019ohm.m • Air resistivity ~1016ohm.m • R// = Rkaptonx Rair / (Rkapton+Rair) • R//(60µm)~1016 x 60.10-6= 6. 1011ohm • Iexpected~ 500/ R//(60µm)= 0.8 nA Leakagecurrent RKapton Rair HV (-500V)
