Abstract :
A silicon microstrip detector irradiated with a fluence of 4.2×1013 protons/cm2 was demonstrated to give rise to detector thermal runaway. The temperature and voltage dependence can be fairly well reproduced by a finite element thermal simulation with temperature dependent bulk leakage current
