TL;DR: In this paper, a description of the software algorithms developed for the CMS tracker both for reconstructing charged-particle trajectories in proton-proton interactions and for using the resulting tracks to estimate the positions of the LHC luminous region and individual primary-interaction vertices is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the TID response of transistors and isolation test structures in a 130 nm commercial CMOS technology and demonstrated that the thin gate oxide of the transistors is extremely tolerant to dose, charge trapping at the edge of the transistor still leads to leakage currents and, for the narrow channel transistors, to significant threshold voltage shift.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss design issues related to the extensive use of Enclosed Layout Transistors (ELT's) and guard rings in deep submicron CMOS technologies in order to improve radiation tolerance of ASIC's designed for the LHC experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pixel readout prototype has been developed at CERN for high-energy physics applications, which has been implemented in a commercial 0.5μm CMOS technology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of transistors in commercial-grade complementary metaloxide semiconductor technologies in the 65 and 130 nm nodes has been explored up to a total ionizing dose of 1 Grad.
