Abstract
A design of a gallium arsenide strip detector performing the triple, simultaneous measurements of position, dE/dx and time of flight is presented (LATIN project). The expected time. energy and position resolutions are given in various experimental conditions. A precursor of this instrument made of silicon strip detectors has been constructed and operated at a temperature of −55° C and tested with a pion beam of 4.0 GeV/c. The measured time resolution is 61±7 ps. Cosmic-ray experiments in space may benefit from this kind of instruments for nuclide and particle identification.
