Description

The production of δ-ray electrons in silicon strip tracking systems is measured for electrons in the energy range of 2-50 GeV. The results are compared to GEANT calculations. The production cutoff threshold is calibrated, and a value of Tcut=3D500 keV is chosen. The δ-ray angular distribution is measured for electrons transmitting through a 320 μm silicon wafer. The δ-ray production rate is approximately 1.3% within an angular region of 1-50 mrad. (Copyright (c) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam. All rights reserved.)
