Abstract:
The LC TPC prototype built and commissioned at MPI-Munich is equipped with wire gas amplification now and is foreseen to also be modified for the Gem and Micromegas (MPGD) technologies. The chamber was transferred to Desy for testing with cosmics and lasers in the 5T magnet and with the readout electronics there. It was then be shipped to KEK for testing in a beam in June. MPGD planes are in preparation for this chamber. Status and prelminary beam results will be presented. (Speaker to be decided.)
