The success of the Belle II experiment relies for a large part on the very high instantaneous luminosity, close to 8x10^35 cm^-2.s^-1, expected from the SuperKEKB collider. The beam conditions to reach such luminosity levels generate a large rate of background particles in the inner detection layers...
The High Luminosity upgrade of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will be able to reach a peak instantaneous luminosity of 5×1034 cm−2s−1. The innermost detectors of CMS and ATLAS experiments will have to cope with unprecedented requirements on radiation hardness. At the end of the operation period, radiation levels are expected to reach values above 2.6 × 1016 n_eq/cm2. Sensors based on...
