Abstract

A large volume Time Projection Chamber (TPC) has been proposed as main tracking device at the International Linear Collider (ILC). Gas electron multipliers (GEMs) are studied as potential replacement of the conventional wire based gas amplification system of TPCs. This talk presents recent results from R&D activities with a small GEM-TPC prototype. The spatial resolution was measured for different magnetic fields up to 4 T.
