Abstract

Precision measurements at the International Linear Collider on physics channels of crucial interest are demanding for resolution of the order of δpT/pT2=10-5GeV-1c up to momenta as high as 50GeVc-1. A light weight He-based drift chamber with full stereo wires is proposed together with a cluster counting technique, performing potentially better than state-of-the-art TPCs. Detailed studies on the implementation of cluster counting and realization of custom front-end electronics is in advancement. Experimental tools for space resolution measurements with 10μm precision is being set up, in preparation of an extensive program of cosmic rays and beam tests.
