Abstract
GaAs detectors can be fabricated with bidimensional single-sided elect rode segmentation. They have been successfully bonded using flip-chip technology to the Omega-3 silicon read-out chip. We present here the d esign features of the GaAs pixel detectors and results from a test per formed at the CERN SpS with a 120 GeV pi(-) beam. The detection effici ency was 99.2% with a nominal threshold of 5000e(-). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
