Oral

While it may seem like a retro-application to use hybrid pixel detectors for applications that consist primarily of observing incident charged particles, given the provenance of these detectors in high energy physics, in actuality the challenges faced are surprisingly novel, at least for these devices. While the space radiation environment consists of mainly charged particles, the routinely...
