Review on TPC's
Description
The Time-Projection Chamber invented thirty years ago by David Nygren, has been used very successfully for tracking in many particle and ion physics experiments, and is now often developed for rare events physics. After a presentation of the original idea of the TPC, and of the advantages of such a detector, the problems related to its realisation will be developed, then a panorama of TPCs for particle physics will be shown, and finally a survey will be done on potentialities of TPC for rare event detection
