Huffman, B.T. et al. (2016) Radiation hardness of two CMOS prototypes for the ATLAS HL-LHC upgrade project. Journal of Instrumentation, 11(02), C02005. (doi: 10.1088/1748-0221/11/02/C02005)

Abstract

The LHC luminosity upgrade, known as the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), will require the replacement of the existing silicon strip tracker and the transistion radiation tracker. Although a baseline design for this tracker exists the ATLAS collaboration and other non-ATLAS groups are exploring the feasibility of using CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) which would be arranged in a strip-like fashion and would take advantage of the service and support structure already being developed for the upgrade. Two test devices made with the AMS H35 process (a High voltage or HV CMOS process) have been subjected to various radiation environments and have performed well. The results of these tests are presented in this paper.
