Irradiation of a silicon-strip detector for the ALICE experiment at LHC

The ALICE detector at LHC is a complex apparatus which makes use, in its inner tracking-system part, of silicon-strip detectors (SSD). These sensors will be exposed to radiations which might possibly harm their performance as well as that of the associated readout electronics. In the framework of a...

Zusammenfassung:The ALICE detector at LHC is a complex apparatus which makes use, in its inner tracking-system part, of silicon-strip detectors (SSD). These sensors will be exposed to radiations which might possibly harm their performance as well as that of the associated readout electronics. In the framework of a R&D, a detection module, incorporating SSD and readout electronics, has been irradiated with 20 MeV protons up to 530 krad . Results relative to the static and the dynamic characteristics of this module are presented and discussed.
