The silicon matrix for the prototype for the Dark Matter Particle Explorer

2013 
In this paper, a silicon matrix detector is described and the results of the cosmic ray test are given. The silicon matrix is composed by the 180 silicon PIN detectors, which covers an area of 32 * 20cm2. The data of whole detectors is read out by the ASIC chips, and suppressed by an FPGA. In the test system, the trigger is given by two plastic scintillators, which are placed above and beneath the silicon matrix. The MIPs energy spectrum is shown in this paper. In further test, a small plastic scintillator is inserted to give a differential cosmic ray counting response.
