The Chain of Signals
When a nucleus travels through the drift region it causes ionisation. The electrons drift towards the anode pads providing a sequence of signals. Displaying the arrival times of the electrons at the anode versus the strip number visualises the projected track of the nucleus. Additionally, the energy loss of the nucleus in the gas along the track is proportional to the charge collected on the anode pad.
