内容記述 | Low noise performance of IR detectors is required, even in the presence of charged particles. Galactic cosmic rays, trapped protons & solar energetic particles. Particle induced transients identified as an important source of noise on ESA's ISO satellite. Also observed on NICMOS Instrument on NASA% Hubble Space Telescope. Tools to analyse particle induced transients have been developed. To date, comparisons of model have been made to flight data for a HgCdTe array exposed to trapped protons, and to a Si array exposed to laboratory protons. We report ground based proton transient measurements in a modem LWlR HgCdTe array operating under cryogenic conditions. Demonstration of charge collection mechanisms. Provide benchmarks for modeling tools. |
