Silicon Carbide Neutron Detectors
The potential of Silicon Carbide (SiC) for use in semiconductor nuclear radiation detectors has been long recognized. In fact, the first SiC neutron detector was demonstrated more than fifty years ago (Babcock, et al., 1957; Babcock & Chang, 1963). This detector was shown to be operational in limited testing at temperatures up to 700 oC. Unfortunately, further development was limited by the poo...
متن کاملA new technology for medical imaging: Silicon Drift Detectors
Introduction Although breast cancer awareness was raised over the last two decades and breast cancer funding has risen strongly, the United States has one of the highest breast cancer rates in the world. Each year 180,000 women are diagnosed and 44,000 women will die of breast cancer. The even more alarming statistic is that about fifty years ago the probability for a woman to be diagnosed with...
متن کاملSilicon Detectors at the LHC
The LHC detectors will have to function in a high radiation environment, fluences of up to 10 1 MeV neutron equivalents (neq)/cm 2 are expected over a 10 year period. They will have to cope with a 40 MHz collision rate and high particle multiplicities. In this environment, the detectors must provide efficient tracking and btagging capabilities. These requirements are met by the silicon systems ...
متن کاملDoes Radiation Improve Silicon Detectors?
Sensors designed for the CMS Preshower detector were irradiated with protons and neutrons to fluences equivalent up to 2x10 n/cm. The leakage current and the capacitance as well as the charge collection efficiency and the noise were measured, before and after the irradiation, for most of the detectors. We noticed, that for some detectors of a lower quality, the breakdown voltage increases after...
متن کاملFront end electronics for silicon strip detectors in 90nm CMOS technology: advantages and challenges
We present a 16 channel front end prototype implemented in 90nm CMOS IBM process and optimized for 5pF input capacitance. The primary motivation for this project is to study the usefulness of the CMOS technologies below 130nm for front end amplifiers optimized for short strip silicon detectors in Super Large Hadron Collider (SLHC) experiments [1]. In the presented design we show critical aspect...
