The Euclid mission aims to image the far galaxies of our universe to better understand and characterise the structure of dark matter and energy. This galactic survey requires highly accurate images to document the effects of dark matter via weak lensing on the shapes of galaxies. Over the course of the mission, radiation damage to the CCDs will cause an increase in detector Charge Transfer Inefficiency (CTI) reducing the accuracy of measurements [2]. To analyse this, we undertook a long-term study on the evolution of CTI on the CCDs in the Euclid VIS focal plane, after a cryogenic irradiation campaign at 153 K. Following the irradiation, the device has been monitored for 12 months of operation under mission representative conditions. We present the CTI evolution as measured by Extended Pixel Edge Response (EPER) over this time.
