摘要：
Semi-insulating, undoped, Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski (SI-U LEG) GaAs detectors have been irradiated with 1 MeV neutrons, 24 GeV/c protons, and 300 MeV/c pions. The maximum fluences used were 6 x10(14), 3 x10(14), and 1.8 x10(14) particles/cm(2), respectively. For all three types of irradiation, the charge collection efficiencies (cce) of the detector are reduced due to the reduction in the electron and hole mean free paths. Pion and proton irradiations produce a greater reduction in cce than neutron irradiation, with the pions having the greatest effect. The effect of annealing the detectors at room temperature, at 200 degrees C and at 450 degrees C with a flash lamp have been shown to reduce the leakage current and increase the cce of the irradiated detectors. The flash-lamp anneal produced the greatest increase in the cce from 26% to 70% by increasing the mean free path of the electrons. Two indium-doped samples were irradiated with 24 GeV/e protons and demonstrated no improvement over SI-U GaAs with respect to post-irradiation cce.
