1 TPC chamber for Medipix2/TimePix
David Attié, Paul Colas, Marc Riallot SiTPC brainstorming, Bonn – 27 March 2007 SiTPC brainstorming, Bonn – March 27, 2007

2 + Medipix2/TimePix Micromegas Mini-chamber
Summary + Medipix2/TimePix Micromegas no ExB effect good for 2-track separation high gain very fast electron signal on the anode plane small ion feedback in the drift space robust and easy to implement only one power supply is needed 55 mm pixels Direct X-ray conversion Low noise 14-bit counter per pixel Mini-chamber SiTPC endplate + Large Prototype For ILC SiTPC brainstorming, Bonn – March 27, 2007

3 SiTPC brainstorming, Bonn – March 27, 2007
First step First test of a Medipix2 + Micromegas in the gas Improve the gas mixture (“non-sparking” operation) Medipix2  TimePix readout chip  LP endplate Metallic box of 24 cm x 14 cm x 6 cm size SiTPC brainstorming, Bonn – March 27, 2007
