Fe b 20 19 Identification of particles with Lorentz factor up to 10 4 with Transition Radiation Detectors based on microstrip silicon detectors

This work is dedicated to the study of a technique for hadron identification in the TeV momentum range, based on the simultaneous measurement of the energies and of the emission angles of the Transition Radiation (TR) X-rays with ∗Corresponding authors Email addresses: francesco.loparco@ba.infn.it (F.Loparco), marionicola.mazziotta@ba.infn.it (M.

A detector setup has been built and tested with particles in a wide range of Lorentz factors (from about 10 to about 4×10 crossing different types of radiators. The measured double-differential (in energy and angle) spectra of the TR photons are in a reasonably good agreement with TR simulation predictions.
