Abstract

Results of testing the detecting module prototype for the barrel part of the tracking system of the CLAS12 experiment are presented. The module consists of four series-connected silicon microstrip sensors with a 30-cm total length and FSSR2 readout chip. The measurement results of the signal along the module and noise level for different lengths of strips in the module are given. It is possible to conclude from the obtained results that, at a strip length of <30 cm, the signal-to-noise ratio is 6: 1 or higher when minimum ionizing relativistic particles are detected.
