Essentials for TPCs:
Geometry length, inner & outer diameter:
momentum resolutionmaximum drift time
B-field momentum resolutiondiffusion
(gas) ionisation: primary electronsdE/dX-rays
drifting electrons: drift velocity, diffusion
Gas Amplification: gain, preamp noise, discharges,

Aleph TPC: well optimised, but now there is something new….

1995 Giomataris & Charpak: MicroMegas

1996: F. Sauli: Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM)
![Page 6: An Integrated Single Electron Readout System for the TESLA TPC Ton Boerkamp Alessandro Fornaini Wim Gotink Harry van der Graaf Dimitri John Joop Rovekamp.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f2e5503460f94c481b8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ProblemReadout of wires: (ion)induced charge on pads, thuswide charge distribution. High spatial precision fromcentre-of-gravity:
wireavalanche
Cathode pads
GEMMicromegas
Solutions: - Controlled ‘charge leakage’ between pads using resistive layers- ‘Chevron’ pads- (very) many (small) pads: pixels!

Chamber with GEM works appropriate:
- gas gain of 55 per GEM is reached without sparks;- use 3 GEMs to fire Medipix pixels (~2000 e-);- efficiency of collecting primary electrons > 90 %- signal rise time (100 - 200 ns) OK for Medipix.

Surface charge ?
Proof-of-Principle is ongoing...
-75 percent of surface is covered with insulator (polyimide)- MediPix is in R & D stage (chip imperfections, low yield, critical parameter settings, ongoing software development)

TimePix CMOS chip
- Best pixel geometry: hexagonal, square, rectangular?- Best pixel pitch?- Preamp specifications? Charge signal time development, amplitude?- Multi-threshold required? Detection of electron clusters?- Readout architecture: time stamp per pixel, or per row & column? Output chain?- Time resolution? Common timing effects?- power dissipation? Sleeping mode?- HV breakdown pixel protection?

Suggestion of Jan Visschers:‘integrate GEM/Micromegas and pixel sensor’
‘GEM + TimePix’ ‘Micromegas + TimePix’
TimePix + GasGainGrid
- by ‘post-wafer’ processing?- glue Micromegas on TimePix?

If it works…:
- Effordable: 340 kE/m2 (2003) for TESLA TPC;- replaces anode wires, readout pads & readout electronics;
- Best possible TPC performance due to the detection of single electrons:
- position and drift time coordinates;- dE/dX measurement;- low occupancy (109 channels!), thus best possible multi-track separation;
- recognition (and suppressing) of -rays;
- gas can be optimised for lowest possible diffusion
- little back-migrating ion charge.

No conclusions yet, but we do have plans:
- proof-of-principle with MediPix 2;
- Integration of MediPix 2 and Micromegas
- Tests with MediPix 2 + GasGainGrid in- cosmic rays- muon beam at CERN (H8)- focussed UV laser (single electron) beam
- Development of TimePix CMOS sensor
