The swept charge device has been developed using CCD technology to perform photon counting X-ray spectroscopy in the 0.5-10keV band as an alternative to silicon PIN and drift diode detectors. The key benefits of the detector are large area, combined with reduced electrical interconnects, with X-ray performance obtained using modest cooling to around -20°C. Here we test the technology for its suitability for space use where solar protons degrade the CTI of the detector leading to a degradation in its resolution as a spectrometer. We report on the irradiation experiments conducted and discuss changes in leakage current and energy resolution in the detector. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
