Incident Angles: For several beam runs, the downstream detector was set to some angle relative to the beam, with the upstream detector left perpendicular. The mean signal was calculated for each of four different incident angles, normalized, and plotted. For comparison, the normalized signal was also plotted for the perpendicular detector in the same column as the corresponding angled detector data. In addition, the maximum silicon path length through each `cell' was calculated and plotted (right hand scale). This `cell' is the active region for each strip, 200 by 300 microns (strip pitch by detector thickness).
