In situ cryogenic characterization of proton damage in thick p-channel skipper CCDs
Brandon M. Roach, Brenda Cervantes Vergara, Alex Drlica-Wagner +14
Skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are an offshoot of standard silicon pixel detectors and are capable of performing repeated non-destructive charge measurements, enabling deepl…
Characterization of the Cherenkov Photon Background for Low-Noise Silicon Detectors in Space
Manuel E. Gaido, Javier Tiffenberg, Alex Drlica-Wagner +7
Future space observatories that seek to perform imaging and spectroscopy of faint astronomical sources will require ultra-low-noise detectors that are sensitive over a broad wavele…
