HI-TREX: Compact, high resolution particle detection system for ISOLDE — Roman Gernhäuser, •Sergei Golenev, Robert Neagu, and Lutz Ziegele for the MINIBALL-Collaboration — Technische Universität München, Germany

HI-TREX is a particle detection setup, developed for the HIE-ISOLDE facility at CERN, designed for transfer reactions using radioactive ion beams.
HI-TREX is based on a thin double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSSD), high-resolution front-end electronics with SKIROC ASICs, and a custom FPGA-based readout board for the fiber-based TRB data acquisition system.
In order to characterize the performance of the detectors, a full system test was conducted in Delft, Netherlands. Even for very low-energy particles from the ⁶Li(n,α)³H reaction, we achieved an energy resolution FWHM ≈ 13 keV. We will present the experimental setup, simulations and a 3-dimensional vertex reconstruction, demonstrating the capability of this new instrument.
