Beam test of the atlas silicon detector modules with binary readout in the CERN H8 beam in 1996

Results are reported from a beam test of prototype silicon micro strip detectors and front-end electronics designed for use at the LHC. The detector assemblies were 12 cm long and were read out with binary electronics. Both irradiated and unirradiated assemblies were measured in a 1.56T magnetic field for efficiency, noise occupancy, and resolution as a function of bias voltage, binary hit threshold, and detector rotation angle with respect to the beam direction. Measurements were also performed at a particle flux comparable to the one expected at the LHC
