    Defect and Material Characterization
    Two light beams excitation technique was used for investigation the recombination process in the by neutron irradiated Si (WODEAN samples, bar type). By application of additional illumination in the extrisic excitation region the photoconductivity spectrum and time dependent conductivity measurement reveals the levels that participate in the photoconductivity, but, if the sample is excited,...

    Defect and Material Characterization
    The transient current technique (TCT) is a well-known technique to analyse the electric field and the trapping behaviour of free charge carriers in silicon devices. It turns out that neither the electric field nor the trapping can be predicted for irradiated diodes. Different assumptions on the drift of free charge carriers or on the trapping behaviour may be made in order to analyse TCT...

    Detector Characterization
    Temperature dependences of reverse current, I(T), of irradiated Si detectors are simulated and analyzed in the scope of carrier generation rate based on Shockley-Read-Hall statistics. Two models of bulk generation current have been developed for simulation of I(T) dependences: carrier generation via a single effective level in the bandgap, and carrier generation via midgap levels of radiation...

    Radiation Damage in LHC detectors
    The talk presents latest results on the leakage current in the ATLAS Pixel Detector. Measurements with low granularity using the high voltage power supplies are shown as well as measurements of the single pixel leakage current, using the so-called monleak measurement of the ATLAS Pixel front-end chip. Where possible the measurements are compared to the predictions.

    Radiation Damage in LHC detectors
    With the rapidly increasing LHC luminosity, radiation damage effects in the ATLAS Pixel Detector will become critical to the detector operation and performance. Thus, it is necessary to monitor the impact of the irradiation on a regular basis. One crucial observable is the voltage that is needed to fully deplete the pixel sensor. Before type-inversion this is monitored in the Pixel Detector...
