CRRES dosimetry results and comparisons using the space radiation dosimeter and p-channel MOS dosimeters
Abstract
The total dose responses from two types of dosimeters onboard the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) are compared. Results from p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) dosimeters were found to be in good agreement with those from the more conventional Space Radiation Dosimeter. The MOS-type dosimeters offer cost and weight advantages over more sophisticated dosimeters designed to gather science quality data. Total dose results from the CRRES mission are presented for various shielding levels and conditions.
