✦ Synopsis

A very robust and redundant tracking system is needed to fully exploit the physics potential at the future International Linear Collider. The International Large Detector uses a combination of a TPC surrounded in the barrel region by three double layers of silicon strip sensors as tracking system. In November 2009 a first test beam, including both a Large TPC Prototype and a first prototype of the silicon layers, was performed at DESY, Hamburg. About 80,000 events were recorded using an electron beam with a momentum of 5.6 GeV/c. The emphasis of this paper is on the silicon layers and their performance during the test beam. It presents first results from the data analysis and discusses possible future steps.

The silicon pixel detector (SPD) comprises the two innermost layers of the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS). It is instrumented with arrays of hybrid pixels made out of 150 mm thick ASICs, each containing 8192 readout cells, bump bonded to 200 mm thick silicon sensors. The dimensions of the pixel c
