Beam test results with a reduced scale silicon transition radiation detector prototype

This paper shows the results of a beam test campaign performed in September 2006 at the CERN-PS T9 beam facility with a reduced scale prototype of a silicon transition radiation detector (SiTRD). The detector prototype has been exposed to an electron-pion beam with momenta up to 10GeV/c and has been tested with different kinds of radiators. These results integrate the ones obtained in a previous beam test, that are illustrated in Brigida et al. [Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 564 (2006) 115]. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
