TL;DR: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as mentioned in this paper was designed to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results for different designs of multi-guard structures, before and after irradiation with ionising and non-ionising radiation sources (p,n,/spl gamma/), and for different doses.

TL;DR: The effect of the crystal orientation of the silicon has been found to have a relevant influence on the surface radiation damage, favouring the choice of a 〈1 0 0 0〉 substrate as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical properties of multiguard structures are used in order to enhance the breakdown voltage of microstrip detectors for high energy physics experiments at the LHC, where the level of radiation damage expected during the detector lifetime implies high bias voltages for the detector operation.

TL;DR: In this paper, multiguard structures enhance the breakdown performance of the devices on several tens of baby detectors designed for the CMS, and the beneficial effects of the multi-guard structures still remains after the strong neutron irradiation performed to simulate the operation at the LHC.
