Subject: Micromegas TPC with a resistive anode readout -
    Carleton/Montreal/Orsay/Saclay 


Hi Ron,
	
We will have no new results to report for the Friday session. Here is a 
brief summary.

  1) Paul Colas has already reported on the Micromegas x-ray resolution 
studies done
with a resistive anode readout.

2) The Carleton test TPC was recently been outfitted  with a Micromegas 
with a resistive anode readout. The modified TPC became fully 
operational last week. The fill gas at present is Ar/CO2 90/10.  We are 
currently taking cosmic ray data without a magnet.  Upon completion of 
tests in Ottawa, we plan to take the TPC to Saclay for cosmic ray tests 
in a 2T magnetic field.

Regards,

Madhu
