17 MeV to 200 MeV protons Irradiation to characterize CCD's sensitivity to Single Event Transient

Experimental data obtained during irradiations of a COTS (commercial off the shelf) CCD are presented. Monoenergetic protons from 17 MeV to 200 MeV are used. We studied transient noise induced by the localized ionizing of the particle. The SET (single effect transient) is measured during irradiation. We report on the irradiation experiments. The evolution of the generated signal versus protons LET is linear.
