Abstract

Beamstrahlung will constitute an important source of background in a pixel vertex detector at the future International Linear Collider. Electron and positron tracks of this origin impact the pixel planes at angles generally larger than those of secondary hadrons and the corresponding clusters are elongated. We report studies of cluster characteristics using test beam electron tracks incident at various angles on a MIMOSA-5 monolithic active pixel sensor matrix.
