Charged particle identification by pulse shape discrimination withsingle-sided segmented silicon-pad detectors

摘要

A charged particle detector array consisting of 50 Si-Csl detector telescopes for study of heavy-ionreactions is under construction in BARC-TIFR Pelletron-LINAC facility. Single-sided segmented silicon-pad detectors of 300 pm thickness and 400 mm~2total active area have been fabricated for this purposeand their design parameters along with static and dynamic characteristics are presented. A low-costsolution for implementing the pulse-shape-based particle discrimination technique with the silicon-pad detectors has been demonstrated through in-beam measurements and the results obtained arepresented.
