abstract:
MIcrostrip Detector Array System (MIDAS) is a compact silicon-tracking telescope for charged particles emitted at
small angles in intermediate energy photonuclear reactions. It was realized to increase the angular acceptance of the
DAPHNE detector and used in an experimental program to check the Gerasimov}Drell}Hearn sum rule at the Mainz
electron microtron (MAMI). MIDAS provides a trigger for charged hadrons, p/pB identi"cation and particle tracking in
the region 73(0(163. In this paper we present the main characteristics of MIDAS and its measured performances.
