A silicon strip detector system for high resolution particle tracking in turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a high speed imaging system that is used to track tracer particles in highly turbulent flows. The system uses silicon strip detectors designed for high energy physics experiments and is capable of reading two detectors at a frame rate of 70 kHz. Each detector contains 512 strips and measures a one-dimensional projection of the light striking it. The position measurements from this system have a dynamic range of 6400:1. Extensions to higher frame rates and more detectors are possible. We describe the detectors, readout system, supporting systems, and give an evaluation of the measurement accuracy. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1416112#

Simulation of realistic detector response in the CBM Silicon Tracking System
The Silicon Tracking System of the CBM Experiment consists of eight tracking layers of silicon detectors. Each layer is an array of vertical modules containing 300 μm thick double-sided silicon strip sensors. The strip pitch is 60 μm on both sides. The sensors are segmented into 1024 strips per side. On either side the strips are tilted by +7.5◦ or -7.5◦ with respect to the vertical edge, creat...

متن کاملReport of the Tracking Subgroup
The charged particle tracking system is a key element of the SDC configuration. This system is expected to provide pattern recognition, momentum resolution, vertex information, a charged-particle pt trigger, and electron/hadron separation. It is expected to interact strongly with the other detection elements: it will be the device that provides the momentum resolution for muons, which are ident...
