Beam test results of a 60 cm long silicon microstrip detector

We have constructed a 60 cm long DC-coupled p-side silicon microstrip detector with 50 μm pitch and beam tested it at CERN by using 50 GeV electrons. In this paper we describe the production and assembly of the ladder and present the beam test results. We obtain a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 and spa...

Summary:We have constructed a 60 cm long DC-coupled p-side silicon microstrip detector with 50 μm pitch and beam tested it at CERN by using 50 GeV electrons. In this paper we describe the production and assembly of the ladder and present the beam test results. We obtain a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 and spatial resolution better than 13 μm over the full length of the ladder.
