Abstract :
We evaluate room temperature and accelerated defect annealing of Geiger detectors irradiated with 55 MeV protons. Parameters governing the annealing rate are extracted. We find that damage annealing occurs faster at higher fluence and attribute it to defect interaction. Moderate temperature annealing is capable of effectively removing up to 85% of the radiation damage.
