Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are to be utilized as charged-particle detectors for {rho}R and implosion symmetry diagnostics on OMEGA and NOVA. Using a large range of MeV charged particles, comprehensive studies have been performed on several back-illuminated CCDs in order to establish their utility for determining particle energy and identity (e.g., H, D, or T). Issues of signal and noise (i.e., especially from neutrons and gammas interacting with the CCDs) are also being investigated. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
