description

Abstract We report on a development of a compact Time Projection Chamber with triple Gas Electron Multiplier readout to replace the current tracking detector in the Crystal Ball/TAPS Experiment at the A2 Tagged Photon Facility at MAMI in Mainz, Germany. Challenges are the limitations in size and the absence of a longitudinal magnetic flied.
