    "abstract": "We present results on THGEM operation at low gas pressures, in the range\n0.5-50 Torr. Gaseous gain up to 100000 was recorded at 10 Torr of Isobutane in\na single multiplier element, with pulses rise-time in the few ns range.\nCascaded operation of two THGEMs is reported, with similar total gain but at\nlower voltages on each element. The present work encompasses a large variety of\nTHGEM geometries and includes electric-field distribution calculations and\nelectron transport simulations. We discuss the operation mechanism and some\npossible applications of THGEMs at low gas pressures.",
