Description

Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD)-based TPC is proposed as centraltracker in the ILD for the ILC experiment. As the advantages of MPGD,ExB effect is small and a few millimeter 2-track separation is possiblecompared with MWPC readout. Electron Multipliers (GEM) or Micro-MEshGAseous Structure (Micro MEGAS) are candidate as MPGD-readout technology.Gas detector such as the MPGD has a issue of discharge. We performedthe beam test using a large prototype TPC equipped with readout modulewith double GEM. And the gating foil to suppress ion feedback was set onthe readout module. I report the analysis result including condition ofdischarge.
