Design and commissioning of a Gas Monitoring Chamber for High Pressure Applications — •Philip Hamacher-Baumann, Lukas Koch, William Ma, Thomas Radermacher, Stefan Roth, and Jochen Steinmann — III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University

Currently, High Pressure Time Projection Chambers (HP-TPC) are intensely discussed in the neutrino detector community as active targets. Increased pressure results in likewise increased probability for gas interactions, but retains a low momentum detection threshold, compared to e.g. liquid gas detectors, for final state particles. The CERN Neutrino Platform has formed a working group to investigate new technologies needed for the operation of HP-TPCs. One of the adressed aspects for long term operation at high pressures is the monitoring of gas properties. This can be done by building a gas monitioring chamber capable of measuring drift and gain properties up to 10 bar.
