Abstract:
A novel design of a transition radiation detector based on silicon microstrip detectors is presented. Due to the relatively high ionization energy release in silicon (a few hundred keV), a magnetic field should be used to separate the radiating particle from transition radiation X-ray photons. The magnet bending power, strip-pitch, charge sharing, noise and front-end electronics have been carefully studied and optimised by means of a full Monte Carlo simulation of the silicon transition radiation detector. The particle identification capability allows the separation of hadrons or nuclei from electrons up to 40 GeV/c momentum.
