【Comments from Matsuda-san on simulation】
> Concerning to your nice simulation work together with Aoki san on the
> thick GEM, this is just the confirmation of what I wanted to discuss in the
> last two meeting (today = 26 January = and last week) .
>
> (1) To understand the origin of the higher (or high)  micro discharge rate
> of our thick GEM, may be you could show us how the max. charge densities
> calculated inside the GEM holes can be compared to the breakdown voltage of
> the T2K gas.
>
> (2) To see if the thick GEM fabricated of the film produced by the present
> method (i.e, with the current non-uniformity of the local thickness of the
> insulator) might really be usable at ILC only by making the GEM hole
> diameter larger, I would like to know how large the GEM hole have to be,
> say, for the 3 (4)% non-uniformity of the current insulator thickness.
>
> (3) I would like to know if there might be any influenece on the position
> resolution to use the larger GEM holes for our 100micron thick GEM.
>
> (4) As for the ion feed back ratio, probably we need your results for the
> two layers GEM system (for a given gas amplification factor).
