<h3 id="Principle">Principle<a class="anchor-link" href="#Principle">¶</a></h3><p>A double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSD) is used in nuclear physics to pinpoint the position and energy of incident particles. With orthogonal strip arrays on its front (x-strips) and back (y-strips), it detects charge carriers generated by a particle’s energy deposition. These carriers induce equal but opposite charges on the x- and y-strips, and amplifiers of opposite polarity produce positive signals of equal amplitude, reflecting the deposited energy.</p>

<p>For a particle hitting the intersection of front strip $x_i$ and back strip $y_j$, depositing energy $E$, the calibrated energy signals from both sides should match:

<h3 id="Energy-Calibration-and-Correlation">Energy Calibration and Correlation<a class="anchor-link" href="#Energy-Calibration-and-Correlation">¶</a></h3><p>The raw signal amplitudes (channel numbers) from strips $x_i$ and $y_j$, denoted $a_{xi}$ and $a_{yj}$, relate to the deposited energy via linear calibration:

$$ E_{xi} = g_{xi} a_{xi} + o_{xi}, \tag{1} $$

$$ E_{yj} = g_{yj} a_{yj} + o_{yj}, \tag{2} $$

where $g_{xi}, g_{yj}$ are gain factors and $o_{xi}, o_{yj}$ are offsets. Since the deposited energy is the same ($E = E_{xi} = E_{yj}$), equating (1) and (2) gives a linear relationship between amplitudes:
Here, $k_{yj}$ and $b_{yj}$ are normalization coefficients that scale the amplitude $a_{yj}$ (from the "calibrated" strip $y_j$) to match $a_{xi}$ (from the "reference" strip $x_i$). A 2D plot of $a_{xi}$ vs. $a_{yj}$ shows a linear trend, and a linear fit yields $k_{yj}$ and $b_{yj}$. This calibration ensures consistent energy measurements across strips, crucial for accurate position and energy reconstruction.</p>
