Lems

Lems is a term that may refer to several distinct subjects. It is most commonly encountered as a surname, found in various European-influenced naming traditions. As a last name, Lems appears among individuals across different countries and professions, but there is no single figure universally identified with the name.

In science and technology, LEMs (Large Electron Multipliers) is an acronym used for a class of electron-multiplier devices employed in gaseous detectors. Large Electron Multipliers are micro-pattern structures that amplify electrons and are used in conjunction with other detector elements, such as liquid argon time projection chambers, to achieve higher signal gain and improved spatial resolution in particle physics experiments.

In other uses, Lems may appear as part of acronyms for organizations, projects, or products, with meaning determined by context. Because it is not tied to one definitive entity, the interpretation of Lems depends on the surrounding material.
