NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH. SECTION A, ACCELERATORS, SPECTROMETERS, DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT
Abstract
The project of the two Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) layers of the ALICE Inner Tracking System is reviewed, with details on the barrel construction and on the front-end electronics. The results on the SDD spatial resolution are reported as obtained in the 2000 beam test from a whole drift region of the detector. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
