Abstract
Test structures from the ATLAS18 ITk strip detector wafers were irradiated with 24 GeV/c protons. These test structures were positioned at various angles with respect to the proton beam. Blocks of G10 material were placed in front of these test structures to study the effect of scattering of primary protons on the received particle fluence. The results confirm that both the incidence angle of the beam and scattering significantly influence the actual fluence to which the samples are exposed. Miniature strip detectors, first irradiated with protons, were also irradiated with reactor neutrons, to a combined fluence of cm−2. The combination of proton and neutron fluences matched the combination expected in the most exposed part of the strip detector in the ALTAS Inner Tracker (ITk). Good charge collection was measured confirming that the strip detectors are sufficiently radiation hard for successful operation to highest fluences expected at the HL-LHC.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
