TL;DR: The LHCb experiment is dedicated to precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays of B hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva).

TL;DR: In this paper, a defect engineering technique was employed resulting in the development of Oxygen enriched FZ silicon (DOFZ), ensuring the necessary O-enrichment of about 2×1017 O/cm3 in the normal detector processing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the final results obtained by the RD48 collaboration, focusing on the more practical aspects directly relevant for LHC applications, including the changes of the effective doping concentration (depletion voltage) and the dependence of radiation effects on fluence, temperature and operational time.

TL;DR: The use of GaAs as a material for detecting particles in experiments for high-energy physics (HEP) arose from its perceived resistance to radiation damage as discussed by the authors, which is a vital requirement for detector materials that are to be used in experiments at future accelerators where the radiation environments would exclude all but the most radiation resistant of detector types.

TL;DR: In this article, a thin epitaxial layer has been grown using low-pressure vapour-phase epitaxy techniques with low free-carrier concentrations, which is attractive for use as a medium for X-ray detection because of its high conversion efficiency for Xrays in the medically interesting energy range.
