  The performance of a double sided silicon strip detector (DSSSD), used for
position and energy detection of heavy ions, is reported. The analysis shows
that the incomplete charge collection (ICC) and charge sharing (CS) effects of
the DSSSD give rise to a loss of energy resolution, however the position
information is recorded without ambiguity. Representations of ICC/CS events in
the energy spectra are shown and their origins are confirmed by correlation
analysis of the spectra from both junction side and ohmic side of the DSSSD.
