A Study of the Radiation Hardness of Si and SiC Detectors Using a Xe Ion Beam

The properties of silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (4Н-SiC) detectors after their exposure to different integral fluxes of xenon (Xe) ions are presented. The detectors were irradiated at the IC-100 cyclotron of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. It is shown that the degradation of the spectroscopy characteristics of a SiC detector occurs at higher doses compared to a similar Si detector.
