Description

We report on a proton radiation damage experiment on P-Channel CCD newly developed for an X-ray CCD camera onboard the Astro-H satellite. The device has been exposed up to 10^9 protons/cm2 at 6.7 MeV. The charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) is measured as a function of radiation dose. In comparison with the CTI actually measured in the CCD camera onboard the Suzaku satellite for 6 years, we confirm that the new type of P-Channel CCD is radiation tolerant enough for space use. The temperature dependence of the CTI is also reported.
