Abstract . A first-generation CMOS Charged Particle Spectrometer chip [1] was designed at JPL for flight on the STRV-2 spacecraft. These devices will collect electron and proton spectra in low Earth orbit as part of an experiment to demonstrate Active Pixel Sensor (APS) technology in space. This paper presents the results of total dose testing on these chips and, where possible, attempts to extend the results to other Active Pixel Sensors. ...

... Task epreject (1) corrects shifts in the energy scale of specific pixels which are due to high-energy particles hitting the EPIC PN detector during the calculation of the offset map and (2) suppresses the detector noise at low energies by statistically flagging events according to the known noise properties of the lowest energy channels. In the case of timing mode data, epreject also permits the flagging of soft flare events. ... Suppression of detector noise at low energies . ... Input Files . ...
