Abstract
We present the results of two beam tests performed in July and Septemb er 1996 at CERN in order to study the behaviour of irradiated single- and double-sided silicon detectors from different manufacturers. All d etectors had been irradiated with neutrons, up to a maximum fluence of 3.6 x 10(13) cm(-2), and had reached type inversion. Signal-to-noise ratio, resolution and efficiency have been studied for different value s of detectors bias voltage, operation temperature (ranging from - 10 degrees C to f 20 degrees C) and read-out pitch and, in some case, for different incidence angle of the incoming particle. The results are p romising, since no dramatic deterioration of detector performances has been observed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
