Abstract:
Cornell University (LEPP) and Purdue University are initiating a program to study properties of various TPC readout devices, addressing issues of spatial resolution, reliability and ion feedback. Readout modules incorporating GEM and MicroMegas amplification will be built at Purdue; the TPC is being built at Cornell. While funding has been requested through UCLC, we are proceeding with TPC construction and instrumentation using LEPP funds. Turn-on is expected later in 2004.
