Outline:

1. The e+ e- Linear Collider Project

2. Design of the Time Projection Chamber

3. Micropattern Readout of the TPC

4. Ongoing R&D efforts


33

TESLA-Project (DESY):

Acceleration gradient

35 MV/m s = 800 GeV

Superconductive cavities with improved manufacturing (electropolishing)


44

Detector for the Linear Collider

Why new & improved e+ e– detector?

• Higher particle energies from GeV to TeV• More complex final states e+ e– ZHH 6 jets/leptons e+ e– H+H– tb tb 8 jets• Resolution e+ e– ZH e+ e– (+ – ) + X SUSY (missing energy)• Accelerator background, luminosity, bunch separation

...we want to build the best apparatus...

Precise measurement of charged particle momenta:

• Study of Higgs production independent of Higgs decay lepton momenta

• ideally: recoil mass resolution

only limited by Z width

Momentum resolution

(1/pt ) < 5 × 10-5 GeV -1 (full tracker)

Tracker: Momentum Resolution


66

Large Silicon-Tracker à la LHC experiments?• much lower particle rates at linear collider• keep material budget low

Large TPC • 1.7 m radius• 3% X0 barrel 30% X0 endcap• 4 T magnetic field

Goals• 200 points (3-dim.) per track• 100 µm single point resolution• dE/dx 5% resolution

10 times better performance than at LEP

New concept for gas amplification at the end flanges:

Replace proportional wires with Micro Pattern Gas Detectors

GEM or Micromegas:

•Smaller structures

•Two-dimensional symmetry

(no E×B effects)

•Only fast electron signal

•Intrinsic ion feedback suppression

Wires

Gas Electron Multiplier - GEM (F. Sauli 1996)140 m Ø 75 m

•50 µm kapton foil, double sided copper coated

•75 µm holes, 140 µm pitch

•GEM voltages up to 500 V yield 104 gas amplification

Use GEM towers for safe operation (COMPASS)

Micromegas (Y. Giomataris 1995)

•asymmetric parallel plate chamber with micromesh

•saturation of Townsend coefficient mild dependence of amplification on gap variations

•ion feedback suppression

Studies on drift gas

Understand the charge transfer and gain of micropattern detectors in strong magnetic field

Demonstrate feasibility with large prototype in test beam

Obtain optimal position resolution

Study dE/dx resolution

Get in touch with industry for large scale production and detector manufacturing (GEMs, Micromegas, thin frames, grids, field cage)

Goals of the R&D Project

Gas Studies

Traditional TPC gas P10: Ar/CH4 (90/10) might be problematic because of expected high neutron background at linear collider

Other possible quenchers are CO2 and CF4

CF4:

>20 -> potential transverse diffusion less than 200 m at 1m

attachment is small below 400 V/cm

Ion Feedback in Magnetic Field

GEM:

Ion feedback improves with magnetic field

Micromegas:

No dependence of ion feedback on the magnetic field

Finer mesh (1000 lpi) should allow reaching the optimal feedback

- Simulation of electric fieldmap using MAXWELL

- Input fieldmap into GARFIELD

- Monte Carlo simulation of electron drift paths

Simulation of Charge Transfer in GEM Structures

- Calculation of transfer coefficients (like extraction efficiency)

Readout Structure

Disadvantage of electron signal:• No broadening by induction• Signal collected on one pad• No centre-of-gravity

Possible Solutions:

• Charge spread within GEM structure• Capacitive or resistive coupling of adjacent pads• Alternative pad geometries• Smaller pads ( Replace pads by pixel readout chips)

Summary ↔ Outlook

• Measurements in high B-field have started, with encouraging results for the charge-transfer coefficients for GEM and Micromegas

• Better understanding of amplification and resolution achieved

• Test-stand infrastructure now functioning

• Resolution in high B-fields must be measured for all technologies, GEM, Micromegas and wires

• Design and operation of large prototypes should follow promptly, including test beam

• Mechanics and field cage design should start now
