Cosmic ray effects in charged coupled devices
Description
Solid-state imaging devices (CCD, CID, Reticons) are finding increasing use as low-level light detectors in optical astronomy. Charged Coupled Devices are also used as memory storage elements in computers. In both applications the interaction of cosmic rays with the silicon is a serious limitation. Measurements of the event size distribution and event rate as a function of lead shielding with three CCD imaging cameras (Fairchild CCD 20 and RCA CCD ''thick'' and ''thin'' chips) are presented
