“…At each end of the chamber charge is amplified and read out on a MI-CROMEGAS "pad" plane. The signals are digitized and processed by custom-made EtherDAQ card assemblies [1,2] sampling at 50 MHz together with a software framework developed for the data acquisition, analysis, and simulation tasks [3]. An article describing the TPC hardware is in preparation.…”

The Neutron Induced Fission Fragment Tracking Experiment (NIFFTE) is a doublesided Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with micromegas readout designed to measure the energydependent neutron-induced fission cross sections of the major and minor actinides with unprecedented accuracy. The NIFFTE project addresses the challenge of minimizing major sources of systematic uncertainties from previous fission chamber measurements such as: target and beam non-uniformities, misidentification of alpha and light charged particles as fission fragments, and uncertainties inherent to the reference standards used. In-beam tests of the NIFFTE TPC at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) started in
