Abstract
The charge collection efficiency (CCE) of heavily irradiated silicon diode detectors was investigated at temperatures between 77 and 200 K. The CCE wa s found to depend on the radiation dose, bias voltage value and history, te mperature, and bias current generated by light. The detector irradiated to the highest fluence 2 x 10(15) n/cm(2) yields a MIP signal of at least 1500 0 e(-) both at 250 V forward bias voltage, and at 250 V reverse bias voltag e in the presence of a light-generated current. The "Lazarus effect" was th us shown to extend to fluences at least ten times higher than was previousl y studied. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
