Abstract

Prototype ATLAS silicon microstrip detectors have been irradiated to the dose predicted for 10 years of LHC operation with protons at the CERN PS whilst cooled to the ATLAS design operating temperature. The detector currents were monitored during irradiation, which allows the predictions of bulk radiation damage parameterizations to be tested. Values for the damage constant α and the rate of acceptor creation β have been calculated and are in agreement with those previously published for the irradiation of silicon diodes.
