Abstract：
GPM based on THGEM has shown its competitive strength compared to the conventional PMT,especially in the low background research such as dark matter detection. A kind of THGEM made from PTFE,named PTFE-THGEM,is developed for the GPM to be used in CDEX. The PTFE has a lot of advantages especially its low level radioactivity. The PTFE-THGEM was tested at room and cryogenic temperature. It has a high gain in different gases and shows good stability at room temperature. The gain of a single PTFE-THGEM reached 112 at 117 K. The penning effect is also discussed in this paper to explain the “abnormal” phenomena of the gain in different gases.
