TPC Development by the LCTPC Collaboration for future Higgs factories

A future Higgs factory will impose demanding requirements on the detectors both in precision and in rate. To study the possibility of a time projection chamber as a central tracking detector at such a facility, the Linear Collider TPC (LCTPC) collaboration was founded in 2007. It is investigating various Micropattern Gaseous Detectors as a readout option for such a detector. A test setup was installed at the test beam area at DESY and many test beams campaigns have been performed since 2010. It was demonstrated that the required spatial resolutions could be reached.
