Direct Ionization Impact on Accelerator Mixed-Field Soft-Error Rate
/ García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Tali, Maris (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Cononetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Danzeca, Salvatore (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi (CERN) ; Fernández-Martínez, Pablo (CERN) ; Gilardoni, Simone (CERN) et al.
We investigate, through measurements and simulations, the possible direct ionization impact on the accelerator soft-error rate (SER), not considered in standard qualification approaches. Results show that, for a broad variety of state-of-the-art commercial components considered in the 65–16-nm technological range, indirect ionization is still expected to dominate the overall SER in the accelerator mixed-field.

SEE Flux and Spectral Hardness Calibration of Neutron Spallation and Mixed-Field Facilities
/ Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Fernández-Martínez, Pablo (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Ferraro, Rudy (CERN) ; Danzeca, Salvatore (CERN) ; Wrobel, Frédéric (IES, Montpellier) ; Cazzaniga, Carlo (Daresbury) ; Frost, Christopher D (Daresbury)
The approach of calibrating neutron environments through well-known Single Event Upset (SEU)-based SRAM memories is applied to a neutron spallation and mixed-field facility. Implications on the Soft Error Rate (SER) induced by intermediate energy neutrons are evaluated comparing operational environments, such as ground level and accelerator shielded areas, with those reproducible by facilities.

Characterizing High-Energy Ion Beams With PIPS Detectors
/ Bagatin, M (Padua U.) ; Ferlet-Cavrois, V (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Gerardin, S (Padua U.) ; Muschitiello, M (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Paccagnella, A (Padua U.) ; Costantino, A (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Santin, G (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Polo, C Boatella (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Garcia Alía, R (CERN) ; Fernandez Martinez, P (CERN) et al.
The energy deposited by heavy-ion beams was measured using a passivated implanted planar silicon (PIPS) detector in different facilities. Ion beams at ultrahigh energy lead to the formation of a second, unexpected peak in the deposited energy spectrum at slightly higher energy, in addition to the expected primary peak. [...]

Ultraenergetic Heavy-Ion Beams in the CERN Accelerator Complex for Radiation Effects Testing
/ Alía, Rubén García (CERN) ; Fernández Martínez, Pablo (CERN) ; Kastriotou, Maria (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Charitonidis, Nikolaos (CERN) ; Danzeca, Salvatore (CERN) ; Gatignon, Lau (CERN) et al.
Traditional heavy-ion testing for single-event effects is carried out in cyclotron facilities with energies around 10 MeV/n. Despite their capability of providing a broad range of linear energy transfer (LET) values, the main limitations are related to the need of testing in a vacuum and with the sensitive region of the components accessible to the low range ions.

Measurements of Low-Energy Protons Using a Silicon Detector for Application to SEE Testing
/ Cazzaniga, Carlo (Rutherford) ; Alía, Rubén García (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN ; Jyvaskyla U.) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Morilla, Yolanda (CNA, Seville) ; Martin-Holgado, Pedro (CNA, Seville) ; Kastriotou, Maria (Rutherford) ; Frost, Christopher D (Rutherford)
A silicon detector with a fast electronics chain is used for the dosimetry of protons in the range 0.5–5 MeV at the Centro Nacional de Aceleradores (CNA) 3 MV Tandem laboratory in Seville, Spain. In this configuration, measurements can be performed in pulsed mode, using a digitizer to record event-by-event proton energy depositions. [...]

This article studies the impact of radiation-induced single-event effects (SEEs) in the Zynq-7000 field programmable gate array (FPGA) and presents an in-depth analysis of the SEE susceptibility of all the memories of the programmable logic. The radiation experiments were performed in the CERN North Area facility and in the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research using very/ultra high-energy heavy ions. [...]

Mechanisms of Electron-Induced Single-Event Upsets in Medical and Experimental Linacs

In this paper, we perform an in-depth analysis of the single-event effects observed during testing at medical electron linacs and an experimental high-energy electron linac. For electron irradiations, the medical linacs are most commonly used due to their availability and flexibility. [...]

Configuration Memory Scrubbing of SRAM-Based FPGAs Using a Mixed 2-D Coding Technique
/ Vlagkoulis, Vasileios (Piraeus, TEI) ; Sari, Aitzan (Piraeus, TEI) ; Antonopoulos, Georgios (Piraeus, TEI) ; Psarakis, Mihalis (Piraeus, TEI) ; Tavoularis, Antonios (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Furano, Gianluca (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Boatella-Polo, Cesar (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Poivey, Christian (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Ferlet-Cavrois, Véronique (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Kastriotou, Maria (CERN ; Rutherford) et al.
SRAM-based field-programmable gate array (FPGA) vendors typically integrate error correction codes (ECCs) into the configuration memory to assist designers in implementing scrubbing mechanisms. In most cases, these ECC schemes guarantee the correction of single- and double-bit errors per configuration frame but fail to correct upsets with higher multiplicity in a single frame caused by a single event.

The Solar Orbiter magnetometer
/ Horbury, T S (Imperial Coll., London) ; O'Brien, H (Imperial Coll., London) ; Carrasco Blazquez, I (Imperial Coll., London) ; Bendyk, M (Imperial Coll., London) ; Brown, P (Imperial Coll., London) ; Hudson, R (Imperial Coll., London) ; Evans, V (Imperial Coll., London) ; Oddy, T M (Imperial Coll., London) ; Carr, C M (Imperial Coll., London) ; Beek, T J (Imperial Coll., London) et al.
The magnetometer instrument on the Solar Orbiter mission is designed to measure the magnetic field local to the spacecraft continuously for the entire mission duration. The need to characterise not only the background magnetic field but also its variations on scales from far above to well below the proton gyroscale result in challenging requirements on stability, precision, and noise, as well as magnetic and operational limitations on both the spacecraft and other instruments.
