Scientific paper

We report the in-orbit performance of the AKARI/Far-Infrared Surveyor Ge:Ga photoconductors, focusing on the transient response and the radiation effects, to perform the characterization of these effects for data analyses. The behavior for these effects is found to be significantly different between the Short-Wavelength and Long-Wavelength array detectors of the FIS, most probably due to the difference in the array configuration. We discuss cosmic-ray radiation effects, referring to the results of pre-flight proton-beam irradiation measurements. We also describe our efforts to correct the slow transient response of the detectors by adopting a physical approach.
