Over the ten year expected lifetime of a typical SSC detector operating at the design luminosity of 10{sup 33} cm{sup {minus}2}s{sup {minus}1}, the front-end electronics at large pseudorapidities may receive total doses as high as 20 MRad(Si) of ionizing radiation and 10{sup 16} neutrons/cm{sup 2}. Discrete JFETs and monolithic MOS and bipolar transistors have been irradiated at 10 MRad(Si) and 10{sup 14} neutrons/cm{sup 2}, and the effect on transfer characteristics and noise performance have been measured. All transistors were still functional after irradiation but suffered increased noise and the MOS transistors showed significant threshold shifts and increased leakage currents. 4 refs., 2 figs.
