Interstrip effects influence on the particle identification of highly segmented silicon strip detector in a nuclear reaction scenario
Abstract
Identification of the interstrip effects using digital pulse shape analysis is for the first time reported. This study is performed on a highly segmented double-sided silicon detector used in a nuclear reaction in which a large range of particles at different energies are produced. The output current pulse of the preamplifier is employed as observable. The interstrip effects diminish the capability of particle identification at energies below 5 MeV, especially on the injection side of the detector.
