Description

Studies of the properties and performances of small gap wire chambers and Micromegas detectors for LC-TPC readout are presented. Gas amplification, drift and attachment studies, and aging effects are reported for Micromegas devices with several different gases and mixtures. Preliminary results on positive ion feedback in a 2 T magnetic field are summarized. The design of a small Micromegas TPC prototype with fine metallic micro-mesh structures of different pitches and anode pad readout for testing in a high magnetic field is discussed. (authors)
