  2. CHAMBER DESIGN AND PAD LAYOUT Berkeley Saclay Orsay chamber diameter 50 cm length 50 cm readout anode pad plane mesh 1024 pads 2x10 mm2pads 1x10 mm2pads 50 m pitch 50 m gap Vincent Lepeltier ILCD Collaboration meeting January 14th 2005

  3. 2004 COSMIC RAY RUN new data acquisition in April-May 2004: superconducting magnetruns at 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 1.5 & 2 Tesla trigger: 2-3 fold scintillator 10 – 50 % efficiency (lower at high fields) gases: Ar + CF4 / CH4/ iso-C4H10 10% 3% 5% data acquisition: X20 online event display Vincent Lepeltier ILCD Collaboration meeting January 14th 2005

  4. GOODNEWS after investigation… it was due to an error in the analysis !!! no effect of B on the amplitude! Average amplitude sum wrong!!! Magnetic field (T) Vincent Lepeltier ILCD Collaboration meeting January 14th 2005

  12. CONCLUSIONS the Berkeley-Orsay-Saclay Micromegas TPC has been working well and has taken good data last Spring analysis will be finalized soon (spatial resolution) plans for the future: 1/ charge spreading with a resistive foil on Micromegas:  resolution tests very soon with the IPN-Orsay point-like e- source  tests are planed with the Carleton TPC next spring in the Saclay 2T magnet 2/ hadron beam tests at KEK with the MPI TPC equipped with a Micromegas @1.2T next Spring (or Autumn?) 3/ new cosmic-ray measurements with the large B-O-S TPC at 2T? 4/development and test of «bulk» Micromegas (with woven mesh) at Saclay.
