The development of a TPC-based focal plane detector for the MAGIX spectrometers — •Sabato Stefano Caiazza for the MAGIX collaboration — Institute for Nuclear Physics, JGU Mainz

MAGIX is a versatile experiment which will be installed on the 105 MeV energy recovering beam line of the new MESA accelerator under construction at the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Mainz. The design of the experiment is based on two large spectrometers pivoting around the scattering chamber. The key components of those spectrometers are the detector which will track the scattered particles as they cross the spectrometers' focal planes. To achieve a high position resolution with electrons whose energy is lower than 100 MeV, we decided to rely on a pair of TPCs using which we can reduce the amount of passive material before the tracker to the amount necessary to separate the vacuum of the spectrometers from the counting gas of the detector sensitive volume. In this contribution we will present the most recent developments of those detectors and the plans for their future deployment
