Study on TR-Efficiency of the CBM Transition Radiation Detector — •Patrick Reichelt — Institut für Kernphysik Frankfurt

In the CBM experiment at FAIR, a Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) is foreseen for tracking and electron/pion discrimination. A thin gas volume without drift region is considered in order to have sufficiently fast readout for the intended high collision rates. This however compromises the TR-photon absorption efficiency, which is essential for electron identification. An approach of increasing the yield of TR-photons by selecting suitable materials for the readout pads of the detector, from which photons can be re-emitted, will be discussed. A study of this yield depending on pad material and thickness will be presented and compared to measurements at the ALICE TRD setup.
