2. CERN, Nov 2005RD50 MeetingMiguel Ullán – CNM, Barcelona Framework Increased luminosity at S-LHC  2 main challenges on Electronics: l Instantaneous  High occupancy  pile up  Higher segmentation  More channels  Power, Services  Increased shaping time  Speed, Power l Integrated  Radiation Degradation  Charge Collection Efficiency ↓  Signal  Gain  Gain degradation  Current ↑  Power  Noise degradation  S/N  Noise, Power l Need to find a proper technology that deals with these challenges  High speed, high gain with  Low power consumption  Radiation degradation  Cost, availability (prototyping, long term production)

6. CERN, Nov 2005RD50 MeetingMiguel Ullán – CNM, Barcelona Uniform Testing l Draft for Uniform Testing (initially only for bipolar part)  A (minimum) common set of measurements and procedures in the tests of the radiation hardness of different technologies in order to allow for a consistent and quantitative comparison when performed by different groups l The points to agree on are:  Type of devices to consider and sizes,  A minimum set of measurements that should be performed on the devices,  Setup for these measurement and the environmental conditions (T, bias, …),  Minimum requirements of the irradiations to make them comparable (doses, dose rates, annealing, dosimetry, …)  A set of figures of merit for the radiation damage to obtain from the measurements  Criteria for these figures of merit in terms of usability for the s-LHC Front End Electronics
