23. /23 Annealing studies with combined radiation irradiated MAPS 23 Summary Summary A nnealing - Systematic annealing studies on MAPS have been performed. - Annealing has been studied comparing individual (X-ray, neutron) with combined irradiation. - Beneficial annealing effects are observed for X-ray and combined irradiation. - Significant annealing effects for only neutron irradiation are not observed. - Reverse annealing effects have not been observed. - Annealing recovers the charge spectrum shift after X-ray radiation completely. M imosa26 - Mimosa26 radiation hardness studies are started. - Depleted Mimosa26 seems to be more radiation hard than standard sensors. C onclusion - Annealing seems to be a promising strategy to recover the radiation induced performance losses in the MAPS-based vertex detectors like the MVD of CBM.
