Abstract :This study investigates the potential use of lignocellulosic material for Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) foils in high-energy physics experiments. A 50 µm thick lignocellulosic film was created using a scattering method, and both surfaces were coated with a 2 µm thick copper electrode layer. Electrical characterization studies were conducted to assess the suitability of lignocellulosic material in GEM detectors. To ensure consistent atmospheric conditions during measurements, a special chamber was designed to monitor temperature and humidity values over time using an SHT3x sensor module and Rense Temperature/Humidity Meter. Electrical measurements were performed using a Keithley 4200 semiconductor characterization system, and I-V curves showing the current-voltage relationship under different atmospheric conditions were plotted. The results demonstrate the potential for developing sustainable and efficient detectors for various high-energy physics experiments using GEM detectors with lignocellulosic foils. This study comprehensively presents the advantages and disadvantages of using lignocellulosic material in GEM foils and contributes to the development of more environmentally friendly alternatives for GEM detector manufacturing.Keywords : Lignoselülozik Gaz Elektron Çoğaltıcı (GEM) yaprakları, Elektriksel Karakterizasyon, Çevre Dostu Teknolojiler
