Track recognition for the ΔE-E telescopes with silicon strip detectors

For the high granularity and high energy resolution, Silicon Strip Detector (SSD) is widely applied in assembling telescopes to measure the charged particles in heavy ion reactions. In this paper, we present a novel method to achieve track recognition in the SSD telescopes of the Compact Spectrometer for Heavy Ion Experiment (CSHINE). Each telescope consists of a single-sided silicon strip detector (SSSSD) and a double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSSD) backed by 3 x 3 CsI(Tl) crystals. Detector calibration and track reconstruction are implemented. Special decoding algorithm is developed for the multi-track recognition procedure to deal with the multi-hit effect convoluted by charge sharing and the missing signals with certain probability. It is demonstrated that the track recognition efficiency of the method is approximately 90% and 80% for the DSSSD-CsI and SSSSD-DSSSD events, respectively.

Automated summary

In this paper, a novel method for track recognition in SSD telescopes is presented. The method achieves high track recognition efficiency through detector calibration, track reconstruction, and a special decoding algorithm to handle the multi-hit effect and missing signals.
