H6 test beam 27 July – 10 AugSetup Mechanics: Freiburg support frame with provision to rotate the chambers Reference systems:

2 or 4 xy chambers (0.250 mm pitch) – equipped with 1x + 1y APV25 (2 or 4 HDMI cables), mounted on both ends of Freiburg frame

Si telescope (BAT), 3 xy stations at 0.5 – 1 m downstream of MM setup 8 x-strip chambers (0.4 mm pitch) to be tested, mounted on frame back-to-back 1 x 1 m2 MM (single coordinate) Trigger: scintillatorsElectronics: VMM1 (new BNL chip) and APV25 Reference chambers: 8 APV25 (4 HDMI cables) All 8 chambers can be equipped with APV25 for TPC mode studies (remove time jitter

using ref. MMs ?) All 8 chambers can be equipped with BNL chip for data readout (TPC mode) All 8 chambers can be equipped with BNL chip for trigger studies (connected to FPGA

evaluation board)Measurements Systematic studies of BNL chip performance compared to APV25 Measure resolution as function of track angle (for different Edrift), track reconstruction Measure performance of 1 x 1 m2 MM (strip length ≥ 1 m)
