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
The ATLAS Pixel Detector radiation damage monitoring system uses leakage currents in pixel modules measured with ATLAS Pixel High Voltage delivery system. We present leakage currents measured in 2011 and 2012 and their dependence
on the ATLAS integrated luminosity (> 6 fb^{-1}). We compare them with the theoretical model prediction. The status of the system is presented as well as the...

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...

In this talk I give an overview of the efforts to monitor the evolution of the sensor properties for the CMS pixel and strips tracker. This contains measurements of changes seen so far, as well as projections of the expected evolution for the coming years of LHC running.

ATLAS barrel SCT sensors have received so far about 0.5 to 1 e12 1MeV-neutron-equivalent fluence per cm**2 from 7-TeV pp collisions at LHC. The HV currents reached up to several micro-Amps/cm**3 at 0 C, assuming they are all due to bulk generation current. Their time dependences are compared with predictions by two leakage current models with self-annealing effects. The prediction takes into...

Radiation Damage in LHC detectors
The LHCb experiment is dedicated to searching for New Physics effects in the heavy flavour sector, precise measurements of CP violation and rare heavy meson decays. Precise tracking and vertexing around the interaction point is crucial in achieving these physics goals.
The LHCb VELO (VErtex LOcator) silicon micro-strip detector is the highest precision vertex detector at the LHC and is...

Radiation Damage in LHC detectors
The VErtex LOcator (VELO) is a silicon strip detector designed to reconstruct particle
tracks and vertices produced by proton-proton interactions near to the LHCb interaction point. The excellent track resolution and decay vertex separation provided by the
VELO are essential to all LHCb analyses. For the integrated luminosity delivered by
the LHC up to the end of 2011 the VELO is exposed...

Radiation Damage in LHC detectors
The CMS Preshower detector is made up of two layers of silicon strip sensors located just behind lead absorber planes for electromagnetic shower energy measurement and position determination. The leakage current measurements from these sensors provides a measure of the radiation damage to the bulk as well as a measure of the distribution of NIEL fluence as a function of pseudorapidity. In...
