Design and Testing of a new Tracking System for the Proton Charge-Radius Measurement with the AMBER Experiment at CERN
Paper in proceeding, 2024

The concept of the unified tracking station designed for the proton charge-radius measurement planned at the AMBER (NA66) fixed-target experiment at CERN is presented. Composed of scintillating-fiber hodoscopes and silicon-pixel detectors, it aims to provide 30 µrad angular resolution for the measurement of muons at momenta of 100 GeV with a time resolution of 1 ns at a nominal beam rate of 2 × 106 particles per second. Design choices and construction highlights, together with preliminary test results, are presented.
