Abstract

This note describes a study on the momentum resolution of the TPC-based central tracker design which will be included in the ECFA/DESY conceptual design report (CDR) for the proposed DESY 500 GeV electron-positron linear collider. The study found it to be likely that the central tracker could achieve a momentum resolution of approximately 10^-4 (GeV/c)^-1, particularly if a layer of silicon microstrip detectors were to be added just inside the TPC.
