Pulse height of MIP's in an n-side silicon microstrip detector after proton irradiation with a fluence of 1 x 1015 p cm-2

Description

Plans for a pixel detector in ATLAS at the LHC anticipate a total fluence of about 1015 p cm-2. This is about ten times higher than for the silicon strip detectors. Here, the authors have irradiated an n-side silicon microstrip detector to an equivalent high energy fluence of 1 x 1015 p cm-2 using 55 MeV protons. They determined the median pulse height to be 0.7 fC at a bias voltage of 180 V, and deduced a depletion region of about 80 microm
