Radiation effects
- Panja Luukka (Helsinki Institute of Physics (FI))
The inner tracking layers of all LHC experiments were designed and developed to cope with the environment of the present Large Hadron Collider (LHC). At the LHC Phase-II Upgrade foreseen for 2026, the particle densities and radiation levels will increase by roughly an order of magnitude compared to the present LHC conditions, and the silicon-based inner tracking systems have to be able to...
Progress in experimental particle physics continues to depend crucially upon the ability to carry out experiments in a high radiation environment. The RD42 Collaboration at CERN is investigating Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond as a material for tracking detectors operating in such conditions. CVD diamond detectors have been used routinely and successfully in beam conditions/beam loss...
