Plans for Radiation Damage Studies for Si Diode Sensors Subject to 1 GRaD Doses
SLAC Testbeam Workshop March

The Issue: ILC BeamCal Radiation Exposure
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 2

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 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 3 3

Oops – too much background for Hall B! What about SLAC?
Proposal: JLAB Hall B Beam Dump (Plan to run 0.05 A through next May) Total power in beam ~250W. Post-radiator and sample Pre-radiator Oops – too much background for Hall B! What about SLAC?

Rastering Need uniform illumination over 0.25x0.75 cm region (active area of SCIPP’s charge collection measurement apparatus). Raster in 0.05cm steps over 0.6x1.5 cm, assuming fluence profile on prior slide (see next slide for result) Exposure rate: e.g. 1 GRad at 1 nA 13.6 GeV e- ~ 60 Hours

ISSUES/CONCERNS/FEATURES
Alignment and Rastoring We’ll need to know the absolute beam location to 1mm or so Will rastoring be available, or will we need to move samples around ourselves? It would be much easier for our design if the beam moved. Radiomtery We’ll need dosimetry at ~10% accuracy Will we need to worry about activation (we plan to do our damage assessment back in Santa Cruz
8
ISSUES/CONCERNS/FEATURES II
Long Running periods (~60 hours for 1 GRad) Can we run parasitically? What access can we have during parasitic running? Infrastructure Temperature control (thermal load from beam ~10W, plus need to avoid annealing), Control systems, etc.

Parameters required for Beam Tests
To the presenter at the ESTB 2011 Workshop: please, fill in the table (at best) with the important parameters needed for your tests Beam parameters Value Comments Particle Type electron Energy Maximum Rep Rate Charge per pulse Energy Spread Not a concern Bunch length rms Beam spot size, x-y Large is helpful Up to ~1 cm rms Others (emittance, …) Logistics Requirements Space requirements (H x W x L) 1m x 1m x 1m (plus 20cm x 20cm x 20cm 1-2 meters upstream) Duration of Test and Shift Utilization Depends on available current Desired Calendar Dates CY 2012 (flexible) 9

SUMMARY ILC BeamCal demands materials hardened for unprecedented levels of electromagnetic-induced radiation 10-year doses will approach 1 GRad. Not clear if hadrons in EM shower will play significant role need to explore this At 1 nA, 1 GRad takes a long time (60 hours); multiply time ~10 samples really long time More beam current (?) Start with 100 MRad studies (already interesting)

But: Are electrons the entire picture?
G.P. Summers et al., IEEE Trans Nucl Sci 40, 1372 (1993) NIEL e- Energy 2x MeV 5x MeV 1x MeV 2x 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? 13 13

5.5 GeV Shower Profile e+e- (x10) All E > 100 MeV (x20)
“Pre” “Post” e+e- (x10) All Remember: nuclear component is from photons in MeV range. Fluence (particles per cm2) E > 100 MeV (x20) E > 10 MeV (x2) Radius (cm) 14 14

5.5 GeV Electrons After 18mm Tungsten Block
Not amenable for uniform illumination of detector. Instead: split 18mm W between “pre” and “post” radiator separated by large distance Caution: nuclear production is ~isotropic must happen dominantly in “post” radiator! Boundary of 1cm detector Fluence (particles per cm2) Radius (cm) 16 16
17
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? 17 17

Wrap-up Worth exploring Si sensors (n-type, Czochralski?)
Need to be conscious of possible hadronic content of EM showers Energy of e- beam not critical, but intensity is; for one week run require Ebeam(GeV) x Ibeam(nA) > 50 SLAC: Summer-fall 2011 ESA test beam with Ebeam(GeV) x Ibeam(nA) 17 – is it feasible to wait for this? 19 19
20
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…? 20 20
