First Application of Pulse-Shape Analysis to Silicon Micro-Strip Detectors

Abstract

The method of pulse-shape analysis (PSA) for particle identification (PID) was applied to a double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSD) with a strip pitch of 300 \{mu}m. We present the results of test measurements with particles from the reactions of a 70 MeV 12C beam impinging on a mylar target. Good separation between protons and alpha particles down to 3 MeV has been obtained when excluding the interstrip events of the DSSD from the analysis.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research
