The importance of the Lorentz angle measurement
Modules are tilted to take into account the effect of Lorentz angle on the charge drift.
Charge sharing depends upon the Lorentz angle.
Charge drifts with an angle L respect to the direction of the Electric field in presence of a Magnetic field
B
This affects detector performances: space resolution, efficiencyand occupancy.

Lorentz angle measurement• Measured mean cluster size for different angleswith Bon (1.4 Tesla) and Boff
• Data with Boff are used to check systematic effects
• Fits with a parabola
• Comparison with results obtained with the model:
– Depletion taken from data– Threshold fitted from data taken with Boff

Depletion depth measurement• Performed rotating the sensor around the pixel axis parallel to the long size of pixels.
• Strategy based on the determination of the entrance and exit points of tracks
• Charge segment depthplots

Conclusions• Lorentz angle of ATLAS Pixel rad-hard sensors has been measured.
• The observed behavior is well explained by a model based on charge drift in silicon.
• The Lorentz angle ( through the mobility ) depends upon the Electric field inside sensors.
• At the operating conditions for ATLAS pixel sensor we expect a Lorentz angle of 130 at the beginning of data taking. After 10 years we expected a Lorentz angle of 40.
• Depletion depth of sensors irradiated at two different fluences has been measured and characterized as a function of the operation voltage.
