Radiation damage in PIN-photodiodes

  • 1. Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Hamburg (Germany, F.R.)

Description

The investigations of radiation damages to Si-PIN-photodiodes are done in view of their applicability as beam loss monitors for the HERA p-ring. The results indicate that photodiodes can withstand doses of 5x103 Gy without any problems, except a small increase of dark currents. Therefore, these diodes could be used as loss monitors in HERA for several years. (orig.)
