Distribution of electric field and charge collection in silicon strip detectors

The influence of inhomogeneous electric fields on the charge collection and performances of silicon strip detectors is discussed. The distributions of the electric field in silicon strip detectors are obtained. Two-dimensional problem has been solved and both longitudinal and transverse component of the electric field has been calculated. Time analysis of the charge collection at neighboring strips has been carried out taking into account transverse component of the electric field. The possibility of the particle coordinate determination with micron accuracy has been shown.
