Abstract: (Elsevier B.V.)

We report on the performance of a

1 m

³ Time Projection Chambers filled with CF4 at 3 bar, immersed in liquid scintillator and viewed by photomultipliers. Particle detection, event identification and localization achieved by measuring both the electric current and the scintillation light are presented. Particular features of α particle detection are also discussed. Finally, the

⁵⁴Mn photopeak, reconstructed from the Compton scattering and recoil angle is shown.
