Abstract :
A cold silicon strip telescope for time-of-flight determination at −55°C has been tested using a hadron beam at Saturne II. Saclay. We present performance tests of the telescope, the time-of-flight distributions between pairs of silicon hodoscopes and their dependence on temperature. A detailed description of the apparatus, the refrigerator system and the calibration procedures is also reported.
ar relationships between the time resolution and the temperature of the apparatus is measured. An improvement of a factor 2 in the time-of-flight resolution is observed when the temperature decreases from +20°C to −55°C
