The sequential melting of Upsilon states gives us information about the Debye Screening length of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). To observe this sequential melting at RHIC energies of 200GeV, a Time Projection Chamber, as part of the sPHENIX detector assembly, with ability to resolve the Upsilon states is proposed. This paper details the construction of the prototype TPC, the method of analysis of test beam data and its results.
