  1. Radiation Damage Studies for Si Diode Sensors Subject to MRaD Doses Bruce Schum UC Santa Cruz June 26 2013

  2. The Issue: ILC BeamCal Radiation Exposure ILC BeamCal: Covers between 5 and 40 miliradians Radiation doses up to 100 MRad per year Radiation initiated by electromagnetic particles (most extant studies for hadron –induced) EM particles do little damage; might damage be come from small hadronic component of shower? 2

  3. G.P. Summers et al., IEEE Trans Nucl Sci 40, 1372 (1993) NIELe- Energy 2x10-2 0.5 MeV 5x10-2 2 MeV 1x10-1 10 MeV 2x10-1 200 MeV Damage coefficients less for p-type for Ee- < ~1GeV (two groups); note critical energy in W is ~10 MeV But: Are electrons the entire picture? 3

  4. Hadronic Processes in EM Showers • There seem to be three main processes for generating hadrons in EM showers (all induced by photons): • Nuclear (“giant dipole”) resonances • Resonance at 10-20 MeV (~Ecritical) • Photoproduction • Threshold seems to be about 200 MeV • Nuclear Compton scattering • Threshold at about 10 MeV;  resonance at 340 MeV •  These are largely isotropic; must have most of hadronic component develop near sample 4

  5. N.B.: Tungsten very expensive; use lead for target instead Post-radiator and sample Pre-radiator

  6. Proposed split radiator configuration 5mm Tungsten “pre” 13mm Tungsten “post” Separated by 1m Fluence (particles per cm2) 1.0 2.0 3.0 6 Radius (cm)

  7. Rastering • Need uniform illumination over 0.25x0.75 cmregion (active area of SCIPP’s charge collection measurement apparatus). • Raster in 0.05cm steps over 1x1 cm, assuming fluence profile on prior slide (see next slide for result) Exposure rate: e.g. 1 MRad at 0.1 nA of 4 GeV e-  ~ 1.5 Hrs

  8. Charge Collection Apparatus Sensors DAQ FPGA with Ethernet Sensor + FE ASIC • Recently upgraded for multiple samples • P-type and N-type sensors • Float-zone and Magnetic Czochralski bulk • Will maintain -10o C during and after irradiation • At least 3 samples of each of four types in hand 8

  9. RUN ACTIVITY We 6/19 Begin installation (open access) Th 6/20 Complete installation; search and secure 3-5pm Fr 6/21 Alignment with beam. Activation study with dummy sample. Accumulate 2 MRad of first 5 MRad run. Sa 6/22 Complete three of four 5 MRad runs. Accumulate 15 MRad of first 20 MRad run. Su 6/23 Complete first 20 MRad run and last 5 MRad run. Mo 6/24 Study first 5 MRad sample at UCSC. Tu 6/25 Complete 2nd 20 MRad run. We 6/26 Down: peltier cooler controller failure; up soon; start third 20 MRad run Th 6/27 Complete 3rd and 4th 20 MRad run; do short additional calibration run

  10. First results: 5 MRad Radiation Damage Study BULK: P-type Process: Float Zone

  11. Issues Doses measured with radiochroic film are x3 less than EGS-based estimate  Perform independent calibration with capillary dosimeter (tomorrow) Lost ~1/2 shift due to equipment failure (might be radiation related; not clear)

  12. Backup

  13. 5.5 GeV Shower Profile e+e- (x10) All  “Post” “Pre” Remember: nuclear component is from photons in 10-500 MeV range. Fluence (particles per cm2) E > 100 MeV (x20) E > 10 MeV (x2) 13 Radius (cm)

  14. Shower Max Results Photons with E > 100 MeV per electron, x 100 Photons with E > 10 MeV per electron, x10 Photons per electron Electrons, per GeV incident energy 1.0 2.0 3.0 14  Photon production ~independent of incident energy!

  15. Fluence (e- and e+ per cm2) per incident 5.5 GeV electron (5cm pre-radiator 13 cm post-radiator with 1m separation) Center of irradiated area ¼ of area to be measured ¼ of rastoring area (0.5mm steps)

  16. NIEL (Non-Ionizing Energy Loss) • Conventional wisdom: Damage proportional to Non- Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL) of traversing particle • NIEL can be calculated (e.g. G.P. Summers et al., IEEE Trans Nucl Sci 40, 1372 [1993]) • At EcTungsten ~ 10 MeV, NIEL is 80 times worse for protons than electrons and • NIEL scaling may break down (even less damage from electrons/positrons) • NIEL rises quickly with decreasing (proton) energy, and fragments would likely be low energy •  Might small hadronic fractions dominate damage? 16

  17. Rates (Current) and Energy • Basic Idea: • Direct electron beam of moderate energy on Tungsten radiator; insert silicon sensor at shower max • For Si, 1 GRad is about 3 x 1016/cm2, or about 5 mili-Coulomb/cm2 • Reasonably intense moderate-energy electron or photon beam necessary What energy…? 17
