Abstract

In the quest for a more complete theory of nature, the precise investigation of the Higgs boson at a future electron positron collider has the highest priority. The best tracking performance for a TPC at the proposed International Linear Collider is offered by a TPC with a GridPix readout. The viability of a GridPix TPC readout has been demonstrated in the two detector tests described in this thesis, and the expected performance is established in a comprehensive simulation. In conclusion, the GridPix has a lot of potential for experiments at the next generation of high-energy electron positron colliders.
