Description
The design and performance of a small TPC fitted with an optical double GEM
readout are presented. A prototype with a volume of 0.5 liter was built and
the energy, position and track angle are determined by charge division of
the signals of the four PMT array. Results obtained using the 241Am source
alpha tracks in a mixture of Ar-5%CF4 are reported. Finally, possible
extensions and applications of this type of detector are also presented.
