Description
The High Energy Cosmic Radiation Detection (HERD) facility is a large field-of-view and high-energy cosmic ray detector planned to be installed on the Chinese Space Station in 2027. The Silicon Charge Detector (SCD) is a specialized HERD sub-detector measuring with accuracy the cosmic ray absolute charge magnitude $Z$, separating chemical species in cosmic rays from hydrogen ($Z=1$) to iron ($Z=26$) and beyond. The SCD concept is based on layers of single-sided micro-strip sensors able to measure energy loss and coordinates of the traversing particle. The status of the SCD design, the expected performances, and its prototyping will be discussed.
