WORKSHOP - 1st Workshop on Radiation hard semiconductor devices for very high luminosity colliders (2/3)

Thursday 29 Nov 2001, 09:00 → 17:00 Europe/Zurich

40-S2-S01 (CERN)

The detector developments for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have pushed the present day tracking detectors to the very edge of the current detector technology with respect to radiation hardness and readout speed. However, in future high luminosity hadron colliders the innermost semiconductor based particle trackers will face even higher radiation levels with charged hadron fluences well above 5x1015 particles/cm2. So far only few experiments have been performed in this fluence range and it seems obvious that the present day technology has to be improved with respect to radiation tolerance in order to be fully operational in future colliders. This workshop is dealing with the evaluation of present operational limits and is focusing on new radiation hardening strategies of semiconductor detectors. The main topics are: High luminosity colliders and their requirements Radiation damage in semiconductor devices Radiation Hardening strategies: * New device structures * Defect engineered silicon * Operational conditions * Other semiconductor detectors Simulations
