It is foreseen to significantly increase the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN around 2018 by upgrading the LHC towards the SLHC (Super-LHC). Due to the radiation damage to the silicon detectors used, the physics experiment will require new tracking detectors for SLHC operation. All-silicon central trackers are being studied in ATLAS, CMS and LHCb, with extremely radiation hard...
The existing technology used in the ATLAS Tracker is at the limit for performances of 10 years of running at a LHC peak luminosity of 1034 cm-2s-1. The operation under an upgraded luminosity of 1035 cm-2s-1 (Super-LHC) will imply a corresponding increase of the radiation dose. The expected dose for the inner detector tracker at the Super-LHC is up to 1 ?? 1016 equivalent neutron cm-2 in comparison...
