Abstract
The design and technology of the silicon strip detector modules for the Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) of the ATLAS experiment have been finalised in the last several years. Integral to this process has been the measurement and verification of the tracking performance of the different module types in test beams at the CERN SPS and the KEK PS. Tests have been performed to explore the module performance under various operating conditions including detector bias voltage, magnetic field, incidence angle, and state of irradiation up to 3×1014 protons per square centimetre. A particular emphasis has been the understanding of the operational consequences of the binary readout scheme.

Scattering by ionization and phonon emission in semiconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, the pair-number probability distribution of a particle with energy $E$ ultimately creates pairs, is calculated recursively with increasing energy, and the first and second moments of the distribution yield pair-creation energy, the Fano factor, and quantum yield for semiconductors.

A measurement of Lorentz angle and spatial resolution of radiation hard silicon pixel sensors

TL;DR: In this article, the effect due to magnetic field variation was explained by the variation of the electric field inside the detectors arising from the different bias conditions, and the depletion depths of irradiated sensors at various bias voltages were also measured.
