The Pixel-TPC: first results from an 8-InGrid module

Understand

An eight chip InGrid module has been tested as readout of a prototype time projection chamber.

• The construction of the modules as well as first preliminary results are presented.
• The InGrids, a Micromegas like amplification structure with a pixel ASIC, have been produced on wafer-level in a photolithographic process.
• For the measurements a newly developed readout system based on the Scalable Readout System was used.
