Abstract
We have investigated the efficiency and the noise occupancy of double- sided silicon strip detectors, which were subjected to non-uniform pro ton irradiation of fluences up to a maximum of equivalent 5 x 10(13) p rotons/cm(2). The depletion voltages, varying over time due to control led annealing, were close to zero on one end of the 6 cm strips and 19 0 V at the high radiation end. We determined the efficiency and noise occupancy on both n-side and p-side in a Ru-106 telescope, using a bin ary read-out system with 22 ns shaping time. The n-side exhibits super ior performance after type inversion.
