W. Braunschweig et al., BEAM TEST-RESULTS ON SI AND GAAS MICROSTRIP DETECTORS WITH LENGTH UP TO 64 CM, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 366(2-3), 1995, pp. 236-247
This study is aimed at exploring the details of various aspects of bui
lding long microstrip ladders for future particle physics collider exp
eriments. Several configurations of silicon microstrip detectors (up t
o 64 cm in length) and two GaAs detectors were constructed and beam te
sted using the Viking front end chip and a PC-based data acquisition s
ystem allowing easy comparison and understanding of the results. Resul
ts on cluster charge, signal-to-noise, resolutions, and efficiencies f
or different configurations are presented and compared here.
