| Title | Trap pump data |
| Description | This is the data from irradiating CCDs with Co-60 gamma radiation and beam line neutrons and protons. All devices are trap pumped (a novel technique made by the CEI) to study radiation damage. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | Helps to improve understanding of the trap landscape of defects that will occur in CCDs for space imager applications. |
| Title | Trap pumping method |
| Description | Cutting edge research technique used for the extraction of information from trap pumped frames on the intrinsic properties of traps in CCD's. |
| Type Of Material | Data analysis technique |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | This method is the basis of the PhD's primary research technique and will be used extensively for future papers and improved understanding on radiation defects in silicon. |
| Description | RAF centenary outreach event in Syerston |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an activity, workshop or similar |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Other audiences |
| Results and Impact | The event was branded an "Aerospace camp", and was a mix between a careers fair and a training camp. Over 800 Air cadets, senior RAF, military, celebrities attended the RAF100 centenary in Syerston. Myself and two other CEI students setup a tent at the event showing off the work done at the Open University space sector. The outreach event was very successful and over the day we had the majority of the attendees engage with us and following positive interactions many took prospectuses and the event as a while helped put CEI, Open University and space science into the eye of the public. |
