Cosmic-ray-related Signals from Detectors in Space: The Spitzer/IRAC Si:As IBC Devices

We evaluate the hit rate of cosmic rays and their daughter particles on the Si:As IBC detectors in the IRAC instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The hit rate follows the ambient proton flux closely, but the hits occur at more than twice the rate expected just from this flux. Toward large ampli...
