In 2026 the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is scheduled to replace the successful LHC. The HL-LHC will deliver up to ten times the amount of data as the currently running machine, owing to a higher instantaneous luminosity. This increased luminosity will result not only in a much more demanding environment in terms of radiation damage, but also in up to 200 interactions...

Nowadays silicon strip sensors in high luminosity experiments usually consist of a p-doped bulk with n-type strip implants.
