“…back strips 6 and 9 respectively. The front coincidence plot is characterized by the presence of negative signals, which have been already observed in previous works [1,2]. As it is discussed in details in [5,6], this type of response is due to an accumulation of charge in the insulating layer of SiO 2 producing an inverted electric field which modify charge collection for inter-strip events.…”

“…If on one side the presence of the segmentation is an advantage, on the other side the presence of the SiO 2 insulating layer, between two adjacent strips, affects the charge collection on each strip for particles whose trajectory crosses an inter-strip region. Signals with an amplitude lower than the full energy one, including signals of opposite polarity have been often observed [1][2][3][4][5], with segmented detectors. For this reason, when analysing data obtained by using DSSSDs, it is very important to reject inter-strip events and select only the ones with the correct full energy.…”

“…The angular and position resolutions on the target were respectively 0.14 • and 2.4 mm. The 4 He and 3 H from the 6 He(p,t ) 4 He reaction for center of mass angles between 20 • and 110 • were detected in coincidence by the eight telescopes of MUST silicon detector array [17]. These detectors were separated in two groups arranged to form two 12x12 cm 2 squares placed on each side of the beam, one covering an angular range between 6 • and 24 • and the other one between 20 • and 38 • with respect to the beam direction.…”

The α+2n and t+t clustering of the 6 He ground state were investigated by means of the transfer reaction 6 He(p,t) 4 He at 25 MeV/nucleon. The experiment was performed in inverse kinematics at GANIL with the SPEG spectrometer coupled to the MUST array. Experimental data for the transfer reaction were analyzed by a DWBA calculation including the two neutrons and the triton transfer. The couplings to the 6 He → 4 He + 2n breakup channels were taken into account with a polarization potential deduced from a coupled-discretized-continuum channels analysis of the 6 He+ 1 H elastic scattering measured at the same time. The influence on the calculations of the α+t exit potential and of the triton sequential transfer is discussed. The final calculation gives a spectroscopic factor close to one for the α+2n configuration as expected. The spectroscopic factor obtained for the t+t configuration is much smaller than the theoretical predictions.

“…When a charged particle hits the active area of the detector, its response gives information on deposited energy and 2D impact position of the particle. Change of the segmented silicon detector response due to modifications of the charge collection in the proximity of the SiO 2 inter-strip gap was examined in existing literature [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

Abstract. Double Sided Silicon Strip Detectors (DSSSDs) are segmented silicon detectors widely used for the detection of charged particles. When a particle hits the inter-strip gap between two adjacent strips, energy measurement can be affected by different effects reducing the efficiency of output signal generation. With the purpose to study this behaviour, an experiment was performed at the scanning proton micro-beam facility of the Ruder Bošković Institute (RBI). Response of two detectors of thickness 75 and 998 µm is examined as a function of the beam impact position and bias voltage. Results show that the effective width of the inter-strip gap, which is linked to the efficiency for full energy detection, depends on the experimental conditions and detector settings.
