Abstract :
An experimental study of charge-yield of gamma and alpha radiation sources is presented. Monte-Carlo simulation is applied to explain the experimental results. Important implications of charge-yield to TID measurements using MOSFET dosimeters in space and other high energy particle environments are discussed.
