Abstract
The spatial resolution of silicon microstrip detectors is studied as a function of the main detector parameters and of the track angle. Seve ral algorithms for finding the position of particle hits are presented and analysed. Analytic expressions of the spatial resolution are deri ved for the main algorithms. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, the spati al resolution is calculated for each algorithm and, for each detector design and track geometry, the algorithm that gives the best resolutio n is determined.
