Table 2 Sizes of silicon strip detectors used in HEP

From: High-energy electron experiments (HEP) aboard the ERG (Arase) satellite

	Layer (µm)	Thickness (µm)	Strip pitch^a (µm)	Strip length^a (mm)	Number of strips
HEP-L	Al sheet	12.5 ± 2.5
	1st layer	50 ± 10	200	3.53	67
	2nd–4th layer	600 ± 10	360	3.53	64
HEP-H	Al sheet	300 ± 30
	1st layer	50 ± 10	200	5.53	78
	2nd–8th layer	600 ± 10	400	5.53	64

^aThe manufacturing errors for the strip pitch and the strip length are less than ± 1 µm
