Cathode Voltage Effect on the Peak sensing Spectrum

All the measurements have the same GEM voltage 2.87 kV, just cathode voltage changes.

the figure below shows the the spectrum when the cathode at 3.735 kV (865V higher than the top GEM's voltage), which reaches to the maxmum rate that DAQ can measure.
