TPC in Heavy Ion Experiments Jørgen A. Lien, Høgskolen i Bergen and Universitetet i Bergen, Norway for the ALICE Collaboration. Outlook: Presenting some typical TPCs used in Heavy Ion Experiments Fixed target – SPS energies: NA49 and CERES/NA45 Collider energies RHIC: STAR LHC: ALICE

TPC constituents Drift volume –Linear drift (NA49, STAR central TPC, ALICE) –Radial drift (NA45, STAR forward TPCs) Readout chambers –MWPC Readout electronics –Analog charge storage, Switched Capacitor Arrays (SCAs) –Fast digitalisation (ALICE)

Channels: Spatial resolution: 200  m

dE/dx as function of momentum for positive particles produced in p+Pb collisions
