Radiation damage to the COMSAT non-reflective cell

Creators

  • 1. COMSAT Labs., Clarksburg, MD

Description

Radiation studies comparing COMSAT Non-reflective (CNR) cells, COMSAT Violet cells, and typical satellite cells show that the CNR cell is the least sensitive to damage under 1-MeV electron irradiation. Spectral response curves before and after irradiation indicate the source of the initial gains of the CNR cell relative to those of the Violet and satellite cells, and explain why these gains remain even after heavy irradiation. A theoretical discussion of effective absorption coefficients explains why the CNR cell is less sensitive to radiation than the Violet cell even under identical bulk damage conditions
