Abstract :
This paper presents the first results on the performance of a new generation of semitransparent amorphous silicon position detectors having very good properties, such as a spatial reconstruction precision better than 10 μm, deflection angles smaller than 10 μrad and transmission in the visible higher than 80%. In addition, the sensitive area is very large: 30×30 cm2.
