摘要：

A small liquid argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) was operated for the first time in a magnetic field of 0.55 T. The imaging properties of the detector were not affected by the magnetic field. In a test run with cosmic rays a sample of through going and stopping unions was collected. The chamber with the readout electronics and the experimental setup are described. A few selected events were reconstructed and analyzed and the results are presented. The magnetic bending of the charged particle tracks allows the determination of the electric charge and the momentum, even for particles not fully contained in the drift chamber. These features are e.g. required for future neutrino detectors at a neutrino factory. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
