2.1. 0.44 eV Trap CTI Contribution
We consider partially lled traps to improve the simulation by representinga continuous readout process. The results from the initially empty andpartially lled traps are compared in Fig. 3. A negligible contribution tothe CTI from 0.44 eV trapping for partially lled traps (due to long emissiontime) are obtained. Thus, the 0.44 eV traps are ignored in further studies.

2.3. Frequency Dependence
The frequency dependence is shown in Fig. 5 for initially empty and par-
tially lled traps. For higher readout frequency there is less time to trapthe charge, and thus the CTI is reduced near the CTI peak region. At hightemperatures, the emission time is so short that trapped charges rejoin thepassing signal.

4. Initial Data Measurements
For the environment of a future Linear Collider a serial readout for CCDsis no longer an option. Instead column parallel technology, using readoutelectronics for each column, are in development to cope with the requiredreadout rate. CPC-1 is a prototype 2-phase CCD capable of 25 MHz read-out frequency. Initial measurements have been performed on an unirra-diated device in standalone mode, where four columns of the CCD wereconnected to external ADC ampliers. An Fe 55 source provides the sig-nal charge (Fig. 7). The determination of the CTI involves measuring thecharge reduction as a function of the pixel number from a known initialcharge. The results so far have shown small CTI values ( < 10− 5) for the
unirradiated CCD under normal operation conditions. It is possible to in-duce CTI-like effects by reducing the clock voltages used to transfer charge.For 1 MHz readout the CTI value was observed to increase sharply below1.9 V (peak-to-peak).

4.1. CTI - Event Selection
The signal is induced by an Fe 55 source which provides isolated hits of about1620 electrons in order to determine the CTI value. Hits are located usinga 3x3 cluster method and selection criteria are applied: Pixel amplitude> 5σnoise , Σ8
i =1 |cluster i | < 8σnoise . Events are selected within ± 2σ of thesignal peak as shown in Fig. 8.
4.2. CTI - Determination
The CTI is determined from isolated pixel hits. The distribution of the
ADC amplitude Q against the pixel number gives CTI = −1
Q 0
d Qd (Pixel) ,where Q0 is the intercept from a straight-line t. An example for an unir-
radiated device and low clock voltage is given in Fig. 9. The decrease of theclock voltage reduces the transfer efficiency which provides a possibility tomeasure CTI values as function of the clock voltage.

4.3. Dark Current
Some thermally generated electrons are captured in the potential wells.The collected charge is proportional to the integration time. 10 overclockssampled per frame are used as reference level. The gain (e − /ADC) iscalibrated from an Fe 55 source (at each temperature). From a t to J dc =T 3 exp( α − β/T ), a uniform dark current characteristics is observed acrossthe four channels (Fig. 10).
5. Summary
Radiation hardness effects have been simulated for a serial readout CCD,CCD58. A simple model has been developed and compares well with thesimulation which shows the strong dependence on the operating conditionsof the CCD. Measurements performed on a prototype column parallel CCD(CPC-1) display as expected no measurable CTI for the unirradiated sys-
tem. CTI-like effects were induced by reducing the clock voltage to explorethe CTI measurement method. Comparisons with experimental data arebeing carried out at a test-stand. The test-stand at Liverpool Univer-sity has been shown to operate in the required temperature range. The

performances of the CCD58 and CPC prototypes will be compared withsimulations. Experiences with the prototypes have already been gained atthe Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). The verication of the simu-lation results and the tuning of the simulation is important for the studies
to guide the future CCD development as vertex detector for a future LinearCollider.
