Swift/XRT radiation damage and results from the lab using a proton-damaged CCD

Claudio Pagani (Swift/XRT team)
XMM Calibration Meeting, Leicester, 7/3/2012


XRT CCD


e2v CCD-22 detector (developed for EPIC MOS camera on XMM) Operated in Photon Counting (PC) and Windowed Timing (WT) mode 4 55Fe corner sources continuously illuminate CCD corners, used to monitor CCD performance Spectral resolution at launch: FWHM = 135 eV at Mn K- (5.9 keV) Swift in Low-Earth orbit, exposed to high flux of protons (South Atlantic Anomaly)










XRT Radiation Damage


XRT Trap mapping
Trap mapping: map pixels affected by radiation damage, measure the charge losses of individual pixels


Cas A, Tycho SNR offset pointings to cover (partially) CCD area Silicon line (1.85 keV) as reference energy, fit line to localize traps and measure trap depths

Trap depths = f(T)


Temperature
XRT CCD relies on passive cooling after TEC failure, operating between -75 and -50C Dark current, shorter emission line fills traps at higher T Average CTI is measured to be temperature-dependent Temperature dependence seen in calibration corner sources analysis


Trap depths = f(E,Flux)


Energy dependence
Larger charge cloud will interact with more traps Averaged energy dependence measured using emission lines in Tycho, E0102, but lines too weak to measure it for each damaged pixel



Source flux dependence
"Sacrificial" charge effect No bright source with emission lines to test the effect on-board the XRT

Laboratory datasets
High statistics datasets at selected energies and CCD operating temperatures:


ENERGY: Oxygen (0.5 keV), Copper (0.9 keV), Aluminium (1.2 keV), Silicon (1.8 keV), Titanium (4.5 keV) and Iron (6.4 keV) TEMPERATURE: Camera cooled at set of temperatures comparable to Swift/XRT operational range (Ti and Si): CCD_T = [-100, -75, -70, -65, -60, -55, -50C]





CCD uniformly illuminated, 10k frames at each setting, flux of ~ 600 single pixel X-rays/frame.

At -75C no "step" in energy profile is seen, but gradual energy "recovery", temission(T=-75)

Laboratory results - Energy
Increasing depth vs energy Saturation effect

Different behaviour of trap depths on energy is an indication of different trap properties (i.e., size of defects in pixels).


Work and analysis in progress

Dataset at high flux at T=-100C to investigate "sacrificial charge" effect Complete analysis, and introduce classification of traps based on their observed properties Possible XRT damage by secondary neutrons Model secondary emission, if significant possibility of irradiation of CCD with neutron beam

Readout time


XRT Windowed Timing mode observations: higher timing resolution (1.8 ms) at the expense of limited spatial information Use of trap info from Photon Counting mode observations does not provide the desired energy correction; also, a single scaling factor for the trap depths did not work Differences between modes show influence of readout times on XRT CCD traps and hints at different trap species
