Radiation hardness of the low gain avalanche diodes developed by NDL and IHEP in China
This paper presents a study on the radiation hardness of low gain avalanche detector (LGAD) developed by the Novel Device Laboratory (NDL) in Beijing and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of Chinese Academy of Sciences, in the context of an upgrade project of the ATLAS detector for the high luminosity phase of LHC. NDL LGAD sensors with different layouts, epitaxial resistivity and doping profile were irradiated up to 1.02 × 10 15 n eq /cm 2 by 70 MeV protons at Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center (CYRIC). The timing resolution of NDL LGAD sensors reached 50 ps and the collected charge reached 3 - 4 fC after irradiation.
Radiation campaign of HPK prototype LGAD sensors for the High-Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD)
In this work, we report on the results of a radiation campaign with neutrons and protons of Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD) produced by Hamamatsu (HPK) as prototypes for the High-Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) in ATLAS. Sensors with an active thickness of were irradiated in steps of roughly 2 up to a fluence of 3. As a function of the fluence, the collected charge and time resolution of the irradiated sensors will be reported for operation at °C.
