Scientific paper

A High Resolution Array consisting of 20 strip detectors telescopes is being constructed by a collaboration consisting of scientists at Michigan State University, Indiana University, Washington University, Southern Illinois University and INFN Milano. Each telescope in the array contains two silicon strip detectors backed by 4 CsI(Tl) crystals. The front silicon is 65 microns thick and is segmented into 32 strips with a 1.9 mm pitch. The second silicon is 1.5 mm thick and is segmented into 32 strips on the front and the back sides. The strips on the front and back are perpendicular allowing each telescope to be segmented into 1024 pixels. The 4 CsI(Tl) crystals in each telescope are 4 cm thick; each backs one quarter of the solid angle of the telescope. To reduce the cost of electronic readout, an ASIC is being developed that contains the pre-amplifiers, shapers, discriminators, TAC's, and sample and hold circuits required to read out 32 silicon strip channels. The chip has a large dynamic range (10-100 MeV), and multiple readout modes. The different elements of the detector will be discussed in detail. Work supported by the NSF, grant NSF-PHY-01-10253
