A large size x-ray imaging gaseous detector, which has 280 × 280 mm2 effective area has been successfully developed and x-ray imaging has been demonstrated. The imaging system consists of a chamber filled with Ne/CF4 scintillating gas mixture, inside of which Glass GEM (G-GEM) is mounted for gas multiplication. In this system electrons are generated by the reaction between x-rays and the gas, and visible photons by excited Ne/CF4 gas molecules during the gas electron multiplication process in the G-GEM holes. These photons are simply detected with CCD-camera and a radiograph is formed. Here, we report on the properties of large size scintillation G-GEM and the results of using it as a digital x-ray imager with a large sensitive area.
