The identification and tracking of low energy protons enables the use of deuterons as an effective neutron target. For this purpose a self-triggering tracking telescope has been developed. The telescope consists of three layers of double-sided silicon strip detectors mounted inside the COSY vacuum. The setup allows the identification of protons from 1.5 MeV to 40 MeV via the Δ E/E method and particle tracking over a wide range from 1.5 MeV protons to minimum ionizing particles. Results of the first measurements will be presented.
