Abstract
Recent developments in the field of silicon detectors give hope to enlarge the scope of their application to radiation demanding environments. Studies of operation at cryogenic temperatures have identified the traps responsible for irradiated detector performance degradation. It was also shown that continuous charge carrier injection can be used to reduce trapping and manipulatate the space-charge. Radiation hardness in this modus operandi exceeds all the values known to date. The main objective of this research will therefore be to qualify new radiation hard silicon detectors, based on a conventional materials, used in presence of continuous charge injection.
