Improving radiation hardness in space-based Charge-Coupled Devices: An experimental validation of a new pre-fabrication modelling technique
S. Parsons, D. Hall, T. Buggey +2
The soft X-ray imager (SXI) on the SMILE mission uses two large 4510x4510 back illuminated CCD370s to detect X-rays in the 0.2-2 keV range. These devices take heritage from the opt…

Effects of Temperature Anneal Cycling on a Cryogenically Proton Irradiated CCD
S. Parsons, T. Buggey, A. Holland +7
Throughout a typical Earth orbit a satellite is constantly bombarded by radiation with trapped and solar protons being of particular concern as they gradually damage the focal plan…
