S. Simone et al., A 1024 PAD SILICON DETECTOR TO SOLVE TRACKING AMBIGUITIES IN HIGH MULTIPLICITY EVENTS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 373(1), 1996, pp. 18-22
Silicon detectors with two-dimensional pad readout have been designed
and constructed for the WA97 experiment at CERN, in order to solve amb
iguities for track reconstruction in a silicon microstrip telescope. A
high density fanouts has been developed on a glass support to allow t
he electrical contacts between the detector and the front end electron
ics. Silicon pad detectors have been successfully operated both during
the proton-Pb and Pb-Pb runs of the WA97 experiment.
