Abstract The ISOCAM detector is subjected to transient effects induced bycosmic rays, the so-called glitches. This paper is focused onthe ISOCAM long wave detector. The predicted glitch rates havebeen re-evaluated by taking into account secondary particlesproduction in the materials surrounding the LW detector. We showin this preliminary study that the difference between thepreviously predicted glitch rate and the observed rate may beexplained by secondary particles.
