Abstract
We present the search for new detector materials, which would replace silicon as the bulk material in strip detectors for application in high radiation fields. The investigation focuses on SiC, a material with higher bandgap and thus less degradation after irradiation when compared with silicon. Both static properties like the capacitance and leakage currents and dynamic measurements of the charge collection with low-noise amplifiers are presented
