Description
NUSES is a space mission that will serve as a technological pathfinder for next-generation space-based detectors. Ziré, one of the two payloads onboard the satellite, is designed to measure the fluxes of electrons, protons, and light nuclei over a kinetic energy range from a few MeV up to several hundred MeV. It can also detect photons in the 0.1–10 MeV range for the study of transient phenomena such as GRBs. The detector consists of several subsystems: a Fiber Tracker (FTK) based on thin scintillating fibers read out by SiPM arrays, a Plastic Scintillator Tower, a calorimeter, an Anti-Coincidence System, and a Low Energy Module. This work presents the performance of the FTK, evaluated through beam test campaigns at the CERN PS and SPS facilities, complemented by a dynamic test. A reduced-scale prototype, Zirettino, was developed to validate the design, integrating a single FTK layer, a reduced PST configuration, and a partially instrumented CALOg. The system was read out using a custom Front-End Board based on the off-the-shelf CITIROC ASIC by Omega/Weeroc.
