Characterization of the Microstrip Silicon Detector for the FragmentatiOn Of Target experiment.

The main objective of the FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment is the measurement of the double differential cross-sections with respect to kinetic energy and emission angle of fragments produced in nuclear interactions at energies of interest for hadrontherapy (up to 400 MeV/u) (Battistoni et al., 2021) [1]. The Microstrip Silicon Detector (MSD) will be one of the key components of the experiment, used to reconstruct the fragments' tracks needed for momentum reconstruction. The sensors produced were tested throughout the production chain first in the laboratory and then at the accelerators to ensure their operation and performance in terms of noise and signal.
