A Large TPC Prototype with MPGD Readout: Status and Plans

Abstract

The use of a TPC in future collider experiments needs significant research and development. Within the EUDET program an infrastructure has been designed and built to allow the efficient testing of TPC prototypes under realistic conditions. The infrastructure consists of a test beam facility, located at DESY Hamburg, and a multi-purpose TPC field cage.Comment: Conference LCES 2008, Chicag
