Abstract EN
The design of a detector for tracking charged particles is presented together with the characterization techniques developed to extract the main design specifications.
The goals for the final detector are to achieve real-time imaging performances, a large detection area, and a high spatial resolution, particularly suitable for medical imaging applications.
This paper describes the prototype of the tracker plane, which has a 20 × 20 cm2 sensitive area consisting of two crossed ribbons of 500 μm square scintillating fibers.
The information about the hit position extracted real-time tracker in an innovative way, using a reduced number of the read-out channels to obtain a very large detection area but with moderate costs and complexity.
The performances of the tracker have been investigated using β sources, cosmic rays, and a 62 MeV proton beam.
