“…Table 6.1 shows the odd-detector average, the even-detector average, and the total average of sensor response reduction between the first LTC day (March 12, 2000) and November 7, 2005, where the sensor response is defined as the reciprocal of C 1 . As shown, the degradation rate is dependent on an odd/even difference of the detector number (Tonooka et al 2003). The sensor response reduction reaches 28% in band 12 as of November 7, 2005, while it is about 10% in band 10, and further, it is 1-2% larger in even detectors (Nos.…”
