NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH. SECTION A, ACCELERATORS, SPECTROMETERS, DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT
Abstract
The determination of the coordinates of the incidence position on large solid state detectors, where the position sensitiveness is due to resistive electrodes, is discussed. A method to extract the x and y values from the signals at the corners of the resistive layer is described and tested. The results have been checked with different detectors and a variety of energies and ion beams.
