Very Forward Region of the ILC Detector BeamCal Interaction point EM calorimeter with sandwich structure: 30 layers of 1 X0 • 3.5mm W and 0.3mm sensor Angular coverage from 5 mrad to 28 mrad Moliére radius RM ≈ 1cm Segmentation between 0.5 and 0.8 x RM • The purpose of the instrumentation of the very forward region is: • Hermeticity: increase the coverage to polar angles > 5mrad • Fast beam diagnostics FCAL collaboration meeting.

The material Supplied by FCAL group at JINR Produced by Siberian Institute of Technology, Tomsk Sample is semi-insulating GaAs doped by Sn (shallow donor) and compensated by Cr (deep acceptor). This is done to compensate electron trapping centers and provide i-type conductivity. Sample works as a solid state ionisation chamber Structure provided by metallisation (similar to diamond) 500 m thick detector is divided into 87 5x5 mm pads and mounted on a 0.5mm PCB with fanout Metallisation is V (30 nm) + Au (1 m) 2 samples FCAL collaboration meeting.

GaAs. Irradiation results CCD GaAs1 pad4 ring6, 0.85 MGy IV CCE dropped sharply after irradiation but signal is visible Signal increases with bias voltage FCAL collaboration meeting. Krakow.
GaAs. Irradiation results CCD GaAs2 pad4 ring6, 1.5 MGy IV Results: CCE dropped to about 6% from 60% (by ~ 90%) but signal is still visible for absorbed dose of about 1.5 MGy Dark current increased 2 times (from 0.4 to 1 A @ 200V) FCAL collaboration meeting. Krakow.
GaAs. Neighbor pads GaAs2 pad5 ring6 Double peak - result of a partial exposure of neighbor pads pad size 5x5 mm vs. collimator size 10x10 mm Spectra measured a few weeks after the irradiation => no defect diffusion on this timescale at room temperature. FCAL collaboration meeting. Krakow.
Conclusion • Signal still visible up to absorbed doses of 1.5 MGy • Good homogeneity over the sensor area • Predictable behavior under irradiation • Signal could still be increased with increasing bias voltage • New samples with higher radiation hardness are received by • Zeuthen => new beamtest is needed. • Irradiated samples are returned to manufacturer for the • radiation damage investigation. • At the moment GaAs proved to have radiation hardness • close to the requirements of the BeamCal, but an improvement • is still needed. • Could be considered as one of the main candidates • for the BeamCal prototype.
