Selection of the silicon sensor thickness for the Phase-2 upgrade of the CMS Outer Tracker

Simone Scarfì

During the operation of the CMS experiment at the High-Luminosity LHC the silicon sensors of the Phase-2 Outer Tracker will be exposed to radiation levels that could potentially deteriorate their performance. Previous studies had determined that planar flo ...
