Abstract

The position- and energy-sensitive primary particle detectors of a nanodosimetry system are described. They consist of a telescope of silicon strip detectors, which allow the determination of the particle's position from the hit strip address and its energy from the specific energy loss. In our implementation, the energy loss is measured through the time-over-threshold (TOT).
