Modelling radiation damage effects to pixel sensors for the ATLAS detector
Silicon pixel sensors are at the core of the current ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and as the detector component closest to the interaction point, they are exposed to a significant amount of radiation during operation. This paper presents a digitization model incorporating radia...

| Summary: | Silicon pixel sensors are at the core of the current ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and as the detector component closest to the interaction point, they are exposed to a significant amount of radiation during operation. This paper presents a digitization model incorporating radiation damage effects to the pixel sensors. Predictions for basic pixel cluster properties such as the charge collection efficiency are also presented alongside validation studies with Run 2 collision data in ATLAS Pixel Detector. |
