Abstract
The inner tracking detector of the STAR experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider will consist of a three layer barrel structure of 216 silicon drift detectors. Calculations of the two-hit resolution achievable for these detectors are presented in this article. The effects on two-hit resolution of the electronic´s response function, frequency of signal digitization and noise level are discussed
