Spring 1997 Issue Icfa Instrumentation Bulletin* Radiation Damage in Ccds Used as Particle Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of silicon microstrip detectors for high luminosity application at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is described. The technical choices are most severely restricted by the anticipated radiation damage. The arguments are presented which led to the selection of the base line detectors for the silicon tracker of the LHC detector ATLAS: sandwiches of singlesided detectors of n-strips in n-type bulk.

Radiation Damage in CCDs used as Particle Detectors
Introduction CCDs sensitive to minimum-ionizing particles (hereafter referred to as min-I particles) have found a niche as very high precision tracking devices, used as vertex detectors for the detection of short-lived heavy flavor quarks or τ leptons, in high energy physics experiments [1-3]. As such, they must be located as close as possible to the interaction point (usually starting within 1...

The hadronic calorimeter for the CMS experiment requires photodetection in a 4 Tesla magnetic field. This, plus high neutron radiation and a 25 ns bunch-crossing, necessitated the development of a new type of high-rate multi-channel hybrid photodiode. As our specifications became tighter, design changes in the diode structure and surface treatment became necessary, resulting in a better product...

In this review the basic interaction mechanisms of charged and neutral particles are presented. The ionization energy loss of charged particles is fundamental to most particle detectors and is therefore described in more detail. The production of electromagnetic radiation in various spectral ranges leads to the detection of charged particles in scintillation, Cherenkov and transition radiation ...

We measured the relative quantum efficiency of four organic materials: tetrathiafulvalene and bis(cyclopentadienyl)magnesium in the solid phase and t-butylferrocene and n-butylferrocene in the vapour phase. The measurements were performed in the wavelength range of 150-220 nm. We also present a new quantum efficiency measurement of ethylferrocene. The three ferrocene derivatives exhibit relativ...
متن کاملRadiation damage in charge-coupled devices.
Due to their high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been the preferred optical photon detectors of astronomers for several decades. CCDs are flown in space as the main detection instrument on several well-known missions, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, XMM-Newton or the Cassini Probe. Also, CCDs are frequently used in satellite star trackers which pro...
