Abstract
The characterization of these devices has been performed before and after irradiation up to a fluence of 5Ã1015 1 MeV neqcmâ2. Charge collection measurements carried out with radioactive sources have proven the functioning of this technology up to these particle fluences. First results from beam test data with a 120 GeV/c pion beam at the CERN-SPS are also discussed, demonstrating a high tracking efficiency of (98.6±0.3)% and a high collected charge of about 10 ke for a device irradiated at the maximum fluence and biased at 1 kV.
