Developing radiation hard silicon for the LHCb vertex locator

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

LHCb is a dedicated experiment at the LHC to study CP violation. The vertex locator is a silicon detector designed to provide precise information on the production and decay vertices of b-hadrons both off-line and for the second level trigger. The active silicon is positioned only 8 mm from the LHC beam and will operate in an extreme radiation environment (up to 1.3×10141MeV neutron equivalents/cm2/year). A report is presented on the sensor design and the related radiation hard silicon research, including promising new results on Czochralski silicon. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
