Description
One of the main, macroscopic radiation damage effects in silicon detectors is the charge trapping. It occurs when in the bulk of silicon sensors, exposed to intensive irradiation, defects acting as charge traps are induced. As a consequence, the charge collection efficiency of the detector is strongly affected.
The charge-trapping effect has been implemented in the simulation framework of the ATLAS Semi-Conductor Tracker.
The talk will present the general scheme used for this, together with some preliminary results regarding the detector response as a function of the fluence received.
