Testing prototype Micron X5 silicon-strip detectors for the R3B setup — •Sonja Storck1, Ina Syndikus1,2, Dominic Rossi1,2, Thomas Aumann1,2, and Stefanos Paschalis1,2,3 for the R3B collaboration — 1TU Darmstadt, Germany — 2GSI, Darmstadt, Germany — 3University of York, United Kingdom
With the R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) setup at GSI in Darmstadt, it is possible to perform kinematically complete measurements with relativistic radioactive beams. In order to identify the incoming and outgoing particles, various detector systems are necessary. Among other systems, silicon-strip detectors are used with which the positions and the energy loss of particles before and after the target are measured.
Two new prototypes of double-sided silicon-strip detectors, Micron X5, were tested in-beam during a beam time at GSI in 2016. The detectors have 32 strips on each side which are arranged perpendicularly to each other to give an x and y position in the same detector. The strips have a resistive surface and are read out either along or across each strip. The detectors were tested regarding the energy and position resolution in addition to their efficiency.
