### Description

A Time Projection Chamber (TPC) will be the central tracking detector in the sPHENIX experiment. Its main task is to provide a high tracking efficiency and excellent momentum resolution for precise upsilon spectroscopy and jet measurements. The TPC will cover the full azimuth and a pseudorapidity range of up to $\pm$ 1.1.
A small scale prototype TPC with a radial extension of 40 cm and a similar drift length has been manufactured which can accommodate a full size amplification module as for the sPHENIX TPC.
The prototype has been exposed to a 120 GeV proton beam at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility (FTBF). The results of the test-beam campaigns including SAMPA readout electronics will be presented.
