Speaker
Description
Past and current experiments have raised key open questions about the physics of charged cosmic rays and gamma rays, highlighting the need for a new generation of space missions to deepen our understanding. The challenge of achieving direct detection at higher energies, along with the demand for improved energy and angular resolution, is driving the development of next-generation detectors. FIT is a modular, high-resolution particle tracker made of scintillating fibers read out with silicon photomultipliers. A miniature version of FIT, called MiniFIT, has been designed, constructed, and tested with particle beams at CERN. The overall FIT design, as well as the design and physics performance of MiniFIT, will be presented in this contribution.
