| Radiation hardness of polysulphone and polycarbonate elements for LHC detectors (1999) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| In the TRT Inner Detector being developed for ATLAS, elements made from plastic materials are widely used. In order to meet necessary requirements of the construction, these materials should have a high radiation hardness. This work presents a study of mechanical features of polysulphone and polycarbonate in dependence on the radiation dose. The results of measurements have shown a weak dependence of mechanical properties of polysulphone and polycarbonate on the absorbed dose up to the value of 1 MGy. So, the products from these materials could be used to construct detectors at LHC, at least on the mechanical point of view. | |||||||||
