Nuclear disturbed environmental effects on space-based single photon detectors

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We consider space-based radiation damage and its cumulative effect on detector dark counts for satellite-based silicon single-photon detectors, arising from natural radiation as well as from a nuclear disturbed environment caused by a high-altitude nuclear explosion.
