The performance of a double sided silicon strip detector as a transmission detector for heavy ions

摘要

The performance of a double sided silicon strip detector (DSSSD), used forposition and energy detection of heavy ions, is reported. The analysis showsthat the incomplete charge collection (ICC) and charge sharing (CS) effects ofthe DSSSD give rise to a loss of energy resolution, however the positioninformation is recorded without ambiguity. Representations of ICC/CS events inthe energy spectra are shown and their origins are confirmed by correlationanalysis of the spectra from both junction side and ohmic side of the DSSSD.
