Description

The tracking performance of a 0.64 cm square double-sided AC-coupled detector manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics Inc. has been evaluated in a test beam of 227 GeV/c pions at Fermilab. The detector was fabricated with 50 μm pitch on the ohmic (n) side and 25 μm pitch on the diode (p) side. Readout pitch for both sides was 50 μm and was implemented with a Berkeley designed SVX-D IC/SRS/SDA sequencer system. Measurements were made of signal-to-noise, charge correlation characteristics and resolution vs. angle of incidence in the range from 0 to 60 with analog pulse height information. Measurements were made at room temperature, -12 C and -20 C. (orig.)
