Description

I will show the present status of the Micromegas panel with a resistive anode design for the Large Prototype and will describe the ongoing R&D toward a resistive bulk Micromegas detector, read out by a new electronics based on the AFTER chip. I will also report on a recent cosmic-ray test of a prototype module of the T2K TPC in the HARP magnet at CERN, read out with this new electronics.
