A study of the effect of radiation on the mechanical strength of optical fibres
The fibres used for the readout of the upgraded LHC detectors for the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will be exposed to very high radiation doses of up to ∼ 500 kGy(Si). This study has focused on the mechanical reliability of optical fibres after radiation to the levels expected at H...
