5 Testing materials for their radiation hardness: the experience at CERN for the HL-LHC experiment upgrades

The Detector Technology group of the CERN Experimental Physics Department has initiated a campaign aimed at identifying radiation hard materials for their use in
HL-LHC experiment upgrades. The irradiation is performed mainly with gamma photons from a 60Co source, at different facilities.
In this lecture an overview of the characterization efforts so far, describing the irradiation facilities, with their specific advantages and drawbacks, the employed testing standards and the testing infrastructures will be given. An overview of good practices required in the selection and testing of materials for
harsh radiation environments will be provided.

Speaker: Nicola Pacifico (CERN)
