LCTPC in KEK IPNSS
Welcome to the IPNS LCTPC Group's Home Page
The IPNS LCTPC group is developing a Micro-Pattern-Gas-Detector (MPGD) readout TPC for the future linear collider in the "LCTPC" collaboration, which has an Asian subset "LCTPC Asia".
Our Activities
Our R&D program covers the design, prototyping, and construction of a large prototype TPC for linear collider experiments as well as basic studies using a small prototype TPC to help better understand fundamental processes in the TPC. Our current focus is on R&D of GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) modules.
- GEM modules
- Readout electronics (S-ALTRO)
- 2-Phase CO2 cooling
- Positive Ion studies (primay and backdrift)
- Positive ion gating
- Tracking software for non-uniform magnetic field
- Gas studies
- Beam tests
- Laser test bench
