Test of a prototype Microstrip Silicon Detector for the FOOT experiment

The FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment aims to measure the fragmentation cross-section of protons into H, C, O targets at beam energies interest for hadrontherapy (50-250 MeV H and 50-400 MeV/u C ions). Given short range fragments, an inverse kinematic approach requiring precise tracking capabilities in a magnetic volume has been chosen. A key subsystem this will be Microstrip Silicon Detector, based on 3 X-Y measuring station, each composed two 150 μm thick single side microstrip sensors. In work, we present results characterization new version 64 channel low-noise/low power high dynamic readout ASIC subsequent tests first um sensor prototype. series were also performed validate novel “grazing angle” approach, where it is possible change track length below given strip varying incoming particle’s incident angle onto test electronics without using Z ions.
