Study of the readout configuration of the GAMMA-400 silicon tracker sensors
The GAMMA-400 satellite is an upcoming international space mission designed to detect gamma and cosmic rays in a broad energy range up to 3 TeV, with an excellent angular and energy resolution. The present design foresees a 10 layers Si–W tracker formed by single sided silicon sensors with 80μm stri...

description | The GAMMA-400 satellite is an upcoming international space mission designed to detect gamma and cosmic rays in a broad energy range up to 3 TeV, with an excellent angular and energy resolution. The present design foresees a 10 layers Si–W tracker formed by single sided silicon sensors with 80μm strip pitch, with a readout pitch of 240μm ; the sensors are arranged in four towers, each one with an area of 50×50 cm$^{2}$ , for a total of more than 150k channels. This paper presents an analysis of the spatial resolution of the proposed readout configuration, compared with different readout approaches, both in terms of readout pitch and strip/implant widths. The study has been performed with two specially developed silicon modules, each one divided into zones with different characteristics. The tests have been performed on the CERN PS-T9 beamline using 10 GeV negative particles. |
