The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is planned to be upgraded to High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) in ten years. The upgrade aims at increasing the luminosity up to 5.0 × 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1 where the strip sensors will receive about 20 Gy/h of radiation. We are designing n-strip on p-bulk microstrip sensors for the ATLAS experiment at the HL-LHC. The sensors have been shown to be radiation tolerant up to...

Progress in experimental particle physics in the coming decade depends
crucially upon the ability to carry out experiments at high energies and high luminosities. These two conditions imply that future experiments will take place in very high radiation areas. In order to perform these complex and perhaps expensive experiments new radiation hard technologies will have to be developed. ...

The performance of diamond pixel detectors (single- and poly-crystalline) in high radiation environments is compared to silicon. Estimation of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and measurements on real devices with the ATLAS FE-I4 pixel readout chips are presented.
Diamond is an attractive sensor material for vertex detectors because of its strong radiation-resistance. Also, its tiny leakage...

Luminosity monitors, beam monitors and tracking detectors of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider and their upgrades must be able to operate in radiation environments several orders of magnitude harsher than those of any current detector. We have observed in ATLAS that as the environment becomes harsher detectors not segmented, either spatially or in time, have difficulty handling the...
