The RD50 Collaboration – Radiation tolerant silicon detectors
The RD50 Collaboration – Radiation tolerant silicon detectors In 2001 the RD50 Collaboration “Radiation hard semiconductor devices for high luminosity colliders” was formed in view of the first luminosity upgrade scenarios for the LHC. It was obvious that the LHC tracking detectors would not survive the radiation damage arising from a foreseen luminosity upgrade and…

The new proton & mixed-field Irradiation facility at CERN PS
The new proton & mixed-field Irradiation facility at CERN PS Irradiation is the process by which an object is exposed to radiation. Although this term is fairly generic, the performing of irradiation experiments has a very important meaning for the PH department. In fact, the PH department is deeply involved in radiation tolerance testing since…
