Detector unit, hodoscope and system for tracking high energy particles

A detector unit for tracking high energy particles, the detector unit comprising:

• a first panel having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface,
• a first support member arranged between the first surface and the second surface of the first panel,
• a second panel having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface,
• a second support member arranged between the first surface and the second surface of the second panel,
• a plurality of first fibres arranged in the second surface of the first panel;
• and
• a plurality of second fibres arranged in the second surface of the second panel;
• and
• wherein the first panel is stacked upon the second panel such that the second surface of the first panel and the second surface of the second panel are facing each other,
• wherein the plurality of the first fibres comprises two or more layers of first fibres arranged in the first panel,
• wherein the plurality of the second fibres comprises two or more layers of second fibres arranged in the second panel, and
• wherein the first support member and second support member include a honeycomb or a foam structure and are fabricated with a material selected from at least one of:
• foam, plastics, paper, wood material, metal material, composite material, or any combination thereof,
• wherein each of the first support member and the second support member comprises a honeycomb structure having hollow cells that are columnar or hexagonal in shape, and formed of a low-density low-Z material.
