Hi John,
I've been using both CCD and CMOS for pink-beam tomography, which involves high radiation levels in the experimental station. I also use both for a white-beam mask viewer in the first optical enclosure, which is also a high radiation environment. In both cases we use simple measures to reduce the dose to the camera (lead box or wrap camera in lead tape).
I have seen both types of cameras fail, typically after >5000 hours, and I don't have enough data to say which lasts longer.
I prefer the CMOS cameras from Point Grey, since they are fast, very low noise, and quite cheap (<$1,000 for 1920x1200 @163 fps).
Mark

Subject: CCD vs. CMOS in accelerator environement
Not specifically an EPICS question but I am wondering if there is any reason to prefer a modern CCD or CMOS camera in the radiation environment of an accelerator. The camera is for a beam view-screen/flag so it will necessarily be near the beamline.
Thanks,
