On the performances of a particle tracking detector based on triangular scintillator bars read out by silicon photomultipliers

2020

Abstract A tracking detector composed of scintillator bars with a triangular cross-section read out by silicon photomultipliers in analog mode was developed. The tracker was designed to instrument a low density spectrometer for neutrino experiments. The performance of the system has been studied by exposing it to charged particle beams at the CERN-PS. The tests have shown that the position resolution in reconstructing charged particles’ tracks is within 2.2 mm over the momentum range 0.5–10 GeV/c.

Cryogenic operation of silicon detectors

2000

This paper reports on measurements at cryogenic temperatures of a silicon microstrip detector irradiated with 24 GeV protons to a #uence of 3.5]1014 p/cm2 and of a p}n junction diode detector irradiated to a similar #uence. At temperatures below 130 K a recovery of charge collection e$ciency and resolution is observed. Under reverse bias conditions this recovery degrades in time towards some saturated value. The recovery is interpreted qualitatively as

A large-area scintillating fibre detector for relativistic heavy ions

1998

Abstract A scintillating fibre detector for relativistic heavy ions with an active area of 50 × 50 cm 2 has been developed and was tested with various ion beams (1 ≤ Z ≤ 92). At count rates of up to 10 5 particles/s, the position resolution was found to be determined by the fibre width of 1 mm; depending on the nuclear charge of the beam, efficiencies between 89% and 100% and time resolutions between 800 and 200 ps (FWHM) were obtained.
