140. Development of a Pixel Based TPC

Martin Killenberg (Physikalisches Institut - University of Bonn)

23/10/2007, 14:10

Abstract: The Bonn TPC group is working on the development of a TPC readout module based on the TimePix chip and a triple GEM gas amplification structure. The TimePix chip has a pixel size of 55 by 55 square microns and allows to determine either the amount of charge arriving on one pixel or the arrival time of the charge. Operating the pixels alternating in either mode in a checkerboard...

142. Study of GEM gating for ILC TPC

Dr Akimasa Ishikawa (Saga Univ.)

23/10/2007, 15:30

Abstract: Gating, a suppression system of ion back drift, is one of the most important issues for ILC TPC. Wire was used as a gating system but a large ExB effect may degrate the position resolution in high magnetic field at ILC. GEM is a promissing candidate of the gating system since the ExB effect is smaller due to its fine structure. But the electron transmission efficinecy is not so...

143. Micromegas TPC R&D: Panels for the Large Prototype and Cosmic-ray T2K test

Paul Colas (DAPNIA - Centre d'Etudes de Saclay (CEN Saclay))

23/10/2007, 15:50

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.

144. TPC R&D at Cornell & Purdue

Dr Daniel Peterson (Cornell)

23/10/2007, 16:10

I will show results from the small prototype TPC at Cornell, comparing bulk Micromegas and triple GEM readouts. I will also report on status of the mechanical design of the LCTPC Large Prototype endplate.

145. Status of the Large TPC Prototype at DESY

Mr Ralf Diener (DESY)

23/10/2007, 16:30

Abstract: Previous Research and Development on a TPC for the ILC has been done using small prototypes. To test larger readout structures in a comparable setup, a large TPC prototype is being build inside the EUDET project and the LCTPC group. This prototype will be equipped with a modular endplate to allow the testing of different readout techniques in a common infrastructure. The status...
