Protons from the radiation belts penetrate low altitude orbiting satellites from all directions. To evaluate the damage they cause to on-board electronic devices it is necessary to know the angular dependence of proton-induced events, in order to calculate the average cross section of phenomena like single event upset (SEU) and single event latchup. Here, careful measurements of the angular dependence of proton induced SEU and SEL in HM65162 SRAMs and of energy deposited by protons in thin surface barrier detectors are reported. The authors found a very weak anisotropy whose behavior is described by their model.
