The Silicon Transition Radiation Detector (SiTRD) consists of multiple modules each composed by a radiator and a silicon strip detector operating inside a magnetic field region. This design allows to well separate inside the detector volume the charged particle with respect to the transition radiation X-rays eventually produced in the radiator. In this paper we will show the results of a beam test performed at low momenta, up to 5 GeV/c, with a reduced scale detector prototype. We have also implemented a full Monte Carlo simulation to design a SiTRD for an accelerator a cosmic ray experiment at higher momenta, up to 100 GeV/c. We have simulated two different detector configurations and we have studied their performance. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The Silicon Transition Radiation Detector (SiTRD) consists of multiple modules each composed by a radiator and a silicon strip detector operating inside a magnetic field region. This design allows to well separate inside the detector volume the charged particle with respect to the transition radiation X-rays eventually produced in the radiator. In this paper we will show the results of a beam test performed at low momenta, up to 5 GeV/c, with a reduced scale detector prototype. We have also implemented a full Monte Carlo simulation to design a SiTRD for an accelerator a cosmic ray experiment at higher momenta, up to 100 GeV/c. We have simulated two different detector configurations and we have studied their performance. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
