Abstract

Modern nuclear physics experiments demand for new high-resolution and high-versatility detectors for the reconstruction of collision events. In this framework, we have developed a new hodoscope of silicon detectors for charged particles called OSCAR. This new device consists of individual modules with partially embedded electronics capable to identify low energy particles down to about 1 MeV/u. OSCAR is a particularly suitable detector to be used as a standalone detector or as ancillary system for large acceptance devices. This paper presents an overview of the layout and capabilities of the detector.
