Abstract
GaAs microstrip detector prototypes for the ATLAS forward tracker have been fabricated and tested. They feature integrated capacitors for AC -coupling and a novel biasing technique based on the high-resistivity substrate material with ohmic contacts. The strips are wedge shaped an d the detector has a 5.5 cm long off-axis edge cut. The detector has b een tested with the LBIC binary read-out chip in a beam test performed at the CERN SPS with 120 GeV pi(-), showing a 97% detection efficienc y. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
