Abstract
An oscillator concept developed for particle detection and tracking is presented. The methodology used to characterize the currents generated by the particle is detailed. A Design Of Experiment (DOE) analysis is used to correlate the circuit oscillations with the current characteristics after particle detection. To validate the concept, an application example is developed to validate the detector capability to track a striking particle.
