摘要：

Since the summer of 2003, a large Micromegas Time Projection Chamber (TPC) prototype (1000 channels, 50 cm drift, 50 cm diameter) has been operated in a 2T superconducting magnet at Saclay. A description of this apparatus and first results from cosmic ray tests are presented. Additional measurements using simpler detectors with a laser source, an X-ray gun and radioactive sources are discussed. Drift velocity and gain measurements, electron attachment and aging studies for a Micromegas TPC are presented. In particular, using simulations and measurements, it is shown that an Argon-CF4 mixture is optimal for operation at a future Linear Collider. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
