The Pixelation strategy for the FARCOS array

A novel pixelation method for the double sided silicon strip detectors of the FARCOS array has been developed and tested with the data collected at INFN-LNS laboratory. The reconstruction of two and three alpha particles coincidence events is shown. The need to use the detection time of each signal to clean the events from noise and spurious coincidences is underlined. The method is able also to reconstruct interstrip events and to exclude the degradation of the resolution generated by events interacting near the guard ring. The energy resolution of well reconstructed interstrip events was evaluated by looking at two alpha particles coincidences.
