| contents | Resistive AC-coupled Silicon Detectors (RSDs) are silicon sensors which provide high temporal and spatial resolution. The RSD is a candidate sensor to be used in future tracking detectors with the objective of obtaining '4D' tracking, where timing information can be used along with spatial hits during track finding. 4D tracking will be an essential part of any future lepton or hadron collider and may even be feasible at the HL-LHC. For applications at hadron colliders, RSD sensors must be able to operate in high fluence environments in order to provide 4D tracking. However, the effects of radiation on RSDs have not been extensively studied. In this study, RSDs were irradiated to $1.0$, $2.0$, and $3.5 \times 10^{15}$~cm$^{-2}$ (1~MeV neutron equivalents) with both protons and neutrons. The sensors were then characterized electrically to study the acceptor removal and, for the first time in this doping concentration range, the donor removal. Then, the Transient Current Technique was used to begin investigating the signal charge sharing after irradiation. The results suggest an interesting trend between acceptor and donor removal, which is worthy of further study and could assist in improving radiation hardness of Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs). |
