Measurements of Radiation Effects in DC-coupled Low Gain Avalanche Detectors

ORAL

Abstract

The effects of radiation damage in DC-coupled low gain avalanche detectors (LGADs) were studied. Measurements of leakage current, capacitance, and other characteristics were taken of these detectors after exposure to 400MeV protons of various fluences. These measurements were then compared to previous measurements of the same detectors before irradiation. These measurements will provide guidance for fast-timing instrumentation at future LHC experiments.
