What has been done with it so far?
• Occupancy studies• Cerenkov blob size, # photoelectrons
– CH4 and CF4 both implemented as gas options– Blobs in various field configurations
• Multiplicity and conversion studies (with Si upgrade)– Combinatorial background studies: see K.
Ozawa’s talk
• A first look at dE/dx

New inner field coil: low-field inner tracking region for low-momentum measurements
Even with maximum cancellation, not a field-free region
Large Br componentswould make track-finding in TPC difficult! Another field map with 80% cancellation has been requested.

Plans for the Future• Study track-finding and momentum resolution in TPC for
various partial cancellation field configurations– What distortions in the tracks will there be due to ExB effects in the
non-uniform magnetic field, space charge, . . .?• More realistic detector response and readout• Study HBD segmentation • Investigate alternative gases/gas mixtures• Further integration with proposed silicon upgrade detector
