A TPC has been developed for J-PARC E42 experiment to search for H-dibaryon in (K-, K+) reaction. An event with 2 pi- and 2 protons decaying from H-dibaryon is searched for inside the TPC. The TPC has octagonal prism shape drift volume with about 50 cm diameter with 55 cm drift length filled with Ar-CH4 (90:10) gas. At the end of the drift volume, 3-layer GEMs are equipped. In order to analyze...

The upgrade of the KLOE detector at the DAFNE $\Phi$-factory foresees the insertion of a new Inner Tracker device around the interaction region, composed by four tracking layers with diameters from 260 mm to 410 mm and an active lenght of 700 mm. Each layer is realized as a cylindrical triple-GEM detector, a solution that allows to keep the total material budget under 2\% of $X_0$, of utmost...

A large TPC (75 cm length, 15 cm radius, ~10000 readout channels) with GEM amplification operating in an ungated mode has been built and installed at the FOPI experiment at GSI, Darmstadt, where it was successfully tested in a physics campaign (pion-beam on different targets). From the recorded data, charged particle tracks entering the GEM-TPC are reconstructed using a fully 3-dimensional...
