Particle radiation effects in charge coupled devices (CCDs) with applications in single event experiments

Kurzfassung

The investigation of radiation effect in particle radiation fields requires the detection of single particles and their individual correlation with the observed quantity. With Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) of the frame transfer type NXA 1011 particle radiation effectsin the sensor matrix have been investigated. The application of these devices as detectors in single particle correlated experiments is demonstrated for the investigation of single event upsets in electro-nics and in the field of particle radiobiology with metabolizing systems.
