Abstract

We report on the performance of a high pressure hydrogen filled time projection chamber (TPC) designed to study photon diffraction dissociation on hydrogen. The TPC consists of two identical 75 cm long by 45 cm diameter drift regions filled with H2 at 15 atm. It is used as an active target to measure the polar angles and dE/dx of recoil protons.
