A Time Projection Chamber has been foreseen as the central tracker for the International Large Detector (ILD) for the upcoming International Linear Collider (ILC)International Linear Collider (ILC) [1]. Micromegas (MM) [2] is considered to be a potential candidate for gas amplification at the readoutReadout. Operating MM in a very high-rate environment such as in ILC, obviously drives us to accomplish careful study on Ion Backflow (IB). Here we present results of our advanced IB measurement at the SINP test bench.
