Resolution Studies on Silicon Strip Sensors with fine Pitch

TL;DR

This paper reports on tests of silicon strip sensors with 50 μm pitch in a CERN pion beam, focusing on how strip width and intermediate strips affect spatial resolution.

Contribution

It provides new experimental data on the impact of strip geometry on the spatial resolution of silicon strip sensors.

Findings

Spatial resolution depends on strip width and intermediate strips.

Experimental setup successfully evaluated sensor properties.

First results show promising resolution performance.

Abstract

In June 2008 single-sided silicon strip sensors with 50 $\mu$m readout pitch were tested in a highly energetic pion beam at the SPS at CERN. The purpose of the test was to evaluate characteristic detector properties by varying the strip width and the number of intermediate strips. The experimental setup and first results for the spatial resolution are discussed.
