  The International Linear Collider (ILC) Time Projection Chamber (TPC)
transverse space-point resolution goal is 100 microns for all tracks including
stiff 90 degree tracks with the full 2 meter drift. A Micro Pattern Gas
Detector (MPGD) readout TPC can achieve the target resolution with existing
techniques using 1 mm or narrower pads at the expense of increased detector
cost and complexity. The new MPGD readout technique of charge dispersion can
achieve good resolution without resorting to narrow pads. This has been
demonstrated previously for 2 mm x 6 mm pads with GEMs and Micromegas in cosmic
ray tests and in a KEK beam test in a 1 Tesla magnet. We have recently tested a
Micromegas-TPC using the charge dispersion readout concept in a high field
super-conducting magnet at DESY. The measured Micromegas gain was found to be
constant within 0.5% for magnetic fields up to 5 Tesla. With the strong
suppression of transverse diffusion at high magnetic fields, we measure a flat
50 micron resolution at 5 Tesla over the full 15 cm drift length of our
prototype TPC.
