Samples were investigated before and after neutron irradiation to 5 . 10(14) n(eq)/cm(2). Threshold, noise and calibration of the analogue front end were determined with external charge injection. A spatially sensitive measurement of collected charge and time walk was carried out with Edge-TCT, showing a uniform charge collection and output delay in pixel centre. On pixel edges charge sharing was observed due to finite beam width resulting in smaller signals and larger output delay. Time walk below 25 ns was observed for charge above 2000 e(-) at a threshold above the noise level. Time walk measurement with external charge injection yielded identical results.", optnote="WOS:000758055400055", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5138), last updated on Mon, 07 Mar 2022 08:40:43 +0000", issn="1748-0221", doi="10.1088/1748-0221/16/12/P12020", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.05140", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/16/12/P12020", language="English" }
