| Description | Journal: Journal of Instrumentation The aim of the presented work was to develop further techniques based on a Micromegas-TPC, in order to reach a high gas gain with good energy resolution, and to search for gas mixtures suitable for rare event detection. This paper focuses on Xenon, which is convenient for the search of neutrinoless double beta decay in$ ^{136}$Xe, and $CF_{4}$, suitable for dark matter searches and the study of solar and reactor neutrinos. Various configurations of the Micromegas plane were investigated and are described. Gains of $10^{5}$ and energy resolutions of 35–65% at 6 keV have been achieved. |
