Radiation Campaign of HPK Prototype LGAD sensors for the High-Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD)


Abstract in English

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 50~$mu$m were irradiated in steps of roughly 2$times$ up to a fluence of $3times10^{15}~mathrm{n_{eq}cm^{-2}}$. As a function of the fluence, the collected charge and time resolution of the irradiated sensors will be reported for operation at $-30^{circ}$.
