Abstract: An array gas electron multiplier (GEM) digital imaging radiation detector and a control method thereof are disclosed. The array gas electron multiplier (GEM) digital imaging radiation detector includes an array GEM detector. The array GEM detector includes: an ionized electron generation unit for generating ionized electrons in internal filling gas by incident X-rays or gamma rays or by incident charged particles; a gas electron multiplication unit for multiplying the ionized electrons of the ionized electron generation unit in filling gas inside hole of a gas electron multiplier (GEM), through electron avalanche effect, using the GEM, to form electron clouds; a readout for detecting and outputting coordinates of the electron clouds as the readout receives positions through electrical signals, in which the positions of the electron clouds, being multiplied and formed in the gas electron multiplication unit, reach output electrodes.
