Abstract
A radiation particle strike detection system is disclosed. The radiation particle strike detection system includes a radiation particle detector and a controller coupled to the radiation particle detector. The radiation particle detector is overlayed on at least one surface of a payload that is sensitive to interaction with radiation particles. The radiation particle detector is configured to undergo a change in state responsive to a radiation particle strike at a location on the radiation particle detector. The controller is configured to 1) monitor a state of the radiation particle detector; 2) detect a radiation particle strike on the radiation particle detector based on a change in state of the radiation particle detector; and 3) determine a location and time of the radiation particle strike on the radiation particle detector based on the change in state of the particle detector.
