Abstract:The effect of charge multiplication in Si p+-n-n+ detectors observed in the unique conditions of the in situ irradiation with 23 GeV proton beam fragmented into 400 ms spills and the temperature of superfluid helium, 1.9 K, was analyzed. The current pulse responses of the detector irradiated to 5 × 1013 p/cm2 demonstrated a two-stage process of charge collection, in which, in the first stage, the current was induced by holes, and in the second, by electrons arising due to avalanche multiplication produced by h… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
