Danner, R.

Charged particle fluxes on satellites in highly eccentric Earth orbits are studied, using data from ISEE1 and EXOSAT missions. The effects of minimum-ionizing particles, low-energy electrons and secondary radiation produced by these particles on CCDs used as X-ray detectors are identified. A technique to discriminate events caused by minimum-ioniz…
