Description
Avalanche Photo Diodes (APDs) produced by Radiation Monitoring Devices are examined as candidate timing detectors for HL-LHC applications.
These APDs are operated at 1.8 kV, resulting in a gain of up to 500.
The timing performance of the detectors is evaluated using a pulsed laser.
The effects of radiation damage on current, signal amplitude, noise, and timing of the APDs are evaluated using detectors irradiated with neutrons up to $\Phi_{eq} = 10^{15}$ cm$^{-2}$.
