Description

Straw trackers based on thin wall drift tubes are being developed for several future detectors, such as the SHiP Hidden Sector, the DUNE SAND and the SPD detectors. In some cases they have to serve not only precise tracking, but also particle identification in the sub-GeV momentum region. Searches for the straw read-out options satisfying such a challenging requirement is the primary goal of the ongoing studies done at labs and with the SPS and PS test beams at CERN. We present recent results on the time and spatial resolution obtained for straw tubes operated with read-out electronics based on various ASICs, as well as the first measurements of straw signal charge made with custom read-out electronics and beams of hadrons and electrons of 0.3-15 GeV/c momentum. Simulation studies of the detector response performed with Garflied++ package and merged with modeling of the corresponding read-out electronics done in the LTSpice package are presented along with the measurement results.
