title = "AMS silicon tracker readout: Performance results with minimum ionizing particles",
abstract = "First results for the AMS silicon tracker readout performance are presented. Small 20.0×20.0×0.300 mm3 silicon microstrip detectors were installed in a 50 GeV electron beam at CERN. The detector readout consisted of prototypes of the tracker data reduction card equipped with a 12-bit ADC and the tracker frontend hybrid with VA_hdr readout chips. The system performance is assessed in terms of signal-to-noise, position resolution, and efficiency.",

note = "Funding Information: We wish to thank P. Ben{\'e} for his aid with the readout electronics, A. Christinet and M. Willenbrock for their contributions to the detector assembly, and M. Boscherini for his participation during the installation in the test beam area. We would also like to recognize the important contributions of M. Ionica and V. Postolachi for the VA_hdr testing prior to the test beam. This work was supported by the Fonds National Suisse pour la Recherche Scientifique and by the Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare.",
