Conclusions • Performed for the first time the match between emulsion and GEM detectors. • Analysis has been performed for run at angle: 0°, 7. 5° and 15° for exposures both with and without magnetic field and resolution on GEM position has been evaluated in all the different conditions. PERSPECTIVES • Perform the analysis also with runs at larger angles: 30° and 45° • Improved the matching by taking advantage of the reconstruction of GEM hits in micro-TPC mode 8 th SHi.

Test-beam in summer 2016 modified CES study Rohacell solution for CES was tested in 2015. We confirmed thath the local resolution is fine but on the bigger scale observed some planarity problems. Using this solution is difficult to maintain gap stability with the accuracy better then 0. 2 mm. Frame solution to be tested – we use precise rigid frames with a thing film (mylar) stretched over as a mechanical support for the emulsion. This guarantee flatness and it’s also more lightweight solution in respect to the Rohacell – factor of 5 less material (10 mg/cm 2/cell instead of 50 mg/cm 2/cell) 8 th SHi.
