  The main aim of the study is to perform the long-term stability test of gain
of the single mask triple GEM detector. A simple method is used for this long-
term stability test using a radioactive X-ray source with high activity. The
test is continued till accumulation of charge per unit area > 12.0 mC/mm2. The
details of the chamber fabrication, the test set-up, the method of measurement
and the test results are presented in this paper.
