Abstract :
The position- and energy-sensitive primary particle detectors of a nanodosimetry system are described. They consist of a telescope of silicon strip detectors, which allow the determination of the particle´s position from the hit strip address and its energy from the specific energy loss. In our implementation, the energy loss is measured through the time-over-threshold.
