TEST BENCH FOR SILICON STRIP DETECTORS: FRONT-END ELECTRONICS AND DAQ

The Extreme Light Infrastructure Silicon Strip Array (ELISSA), is an experimental set-up currently under implementation at Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP). It will be used for detailed studies of charged-particle fragments coming from key reactions in nuclear astrophysics. The set-up will consist of 36 silicon strip position sensitive detectors (PSD) assembled in a barrel-like configuration and 8 double sided silicon strip detectors (DSSSD) as end-caps. With over 500 channels of dedicated electronics for the ELISSA experimental station, a new detector test bench has been assembled and tested for front-end electronics optimization. Using a double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSSD), various detector-electronics parameters were investigated and compared with the factory specifications of the detector. The results of these investigations - leakage currents, depletion voltage, energy resolution - are detailed in this paper.
