Zurich (main)) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Garcia Alia, Ruben (CERN) ; Klimek, Karolina (CERN) ; Pan, Vladimir (Wollongong U.) ; Rosenfeld, Anatoly (Wollongong U.) ; Tran, Linh T (Wollongong U.) ; Vohradsky, James (Wollongong U.) ; Kok, Angela (SINTEF, Oslo) ; Povoli, Marco (SINTEF, Oslo) et al.
This article explores the use of microdosimetry with
a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) detector for characterizing very-high-
energy (VHE) heavy ion beams used specifically for single event
effect (SEE) testing of electronics. The detector was deployed
at CERN’s heavy ion facility for radiation effects testing and
exposed to lead ion beams in the 100–1000 MeV per nucleon
kinetic energy range. [...]

Beam delivery of high-energy ion beams for irradiation experiments at the CERN Proton Synchrotron
/ Johnson, Eliott (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN) ; Imesch, Gil (CERN) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Delrieux, Marc (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Arrutia Sota, Pablo Andreas (CERN) ; Garcia Alia, Ruben (CERN) ; Bass, Thomas (CERN)
Heavy-ion single event effect (SEE) test facilities are critical in the development of microelectronic components that will be exposed to the ionizing particles present in the hostile environment of space. CHARM High-energy Ions for Micro Electronics Reliability Assurance (CHIMERA) and HEARTS have developed a high-energy ion beam capable of scanning a wide range of Linear Energy Transfer (LET) at low intensities to study ionization effects on space-bound technology using CERN's Proton Synchrotron (PS).

Characterization of Fully Fragmented High-Energy Heavy-Ion Beams for SEE Testing Through Measurements and Simulations
/ Waets, Andreas (CERN ; U. Zurich (main)) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Salvatore Esposito, Luigi (CERN) ; Schuy, Christoph (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Wagner, Tim (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Nieminen, Petteri (ESA) ; Schneider, Uwe (U. Zurich (main))
Fully fragmented, very-high-energy (VHE) heavy-ion beams offer interesting possibilities for radiation hardness assurance testing of electronic components exposed to the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) space environment. In this article, we perform the dosimetry of these fully fragmented ion beams through a combination of silicon solid-state detector measurements and detailed Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in FLUKA focusing on the interaction between the beam and the device under test.

The HEARTS EU Project and Its Initial Results on Fragmented High-Energy Heavy-Ion Single-Event Effects Testing
/ García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN ; Zurich U.) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN ; IES, Montpellier) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN ; Jean Monnet U.) ; Delrieux, Marc (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Johnson, Eliott (CERN) ; Klimek, Karolina (CERN) et al.
We perform single-event effect (SEE) tests with well-characterized fully fragmented (i.e., beyond Bragg peak) high-energy heavy-ion beams and compare the results with those expected from conventional, mono-linear energy transfer (mono-LET) measurements, showing a satisfactory level of agreement between the two. This compliance paves the way for the exploitation of simulation tools for accurately quantifying the ion fragmentation impact on SEE rates for both ground-level testing conditions and space galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) environments, with electronics operating behind significant thicknesses of shielding.

Latest FLUKA developments

Manchester (main)) ; Cimmino, Anna (ELI-Beamlines, Dolni Brezany) ; Devienne, Arnaud (CERN) ; Servelle, Andre Donadon (CERN ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Dyrcz, Patrycja K (CERN) et al.
The FLUKA Monte Carlo code has recently undergone significant enhancements, driven by needs from its user community. Key improvements are discussed, such as a new point-wise treatment for the interactions of low-energy neutrons, the incorporation of a new model for nuclear elastic scattering of protons below 250 MeV, explicit generation of synchrotron radiation photons during charged particle tracking, a revised modeling approach for coherent effects in bent crystals, and the addition of arc-DPA scoring.

We present the progress related to CERN’s capacity of delivering highly penetrating, high-linear energy transfer (LET) heavy ions for radiation effect testing of electronic components within the CHARM High-energy Ions for Micro Electronics Reliability Assurance (CHIMERA) project. Profiting from the existing accelerator infrastructure, Monte Carlo simulations, and a 300- $\mu $ m-thick silicon diode, we highlight the beam characterization capabilities and a summary of the beam properties.

Very-High-Energy Heavy Ion Beam Dosimetry Using Solid State Detectors for Electronics Testing
/ Waets, Andreas (CERN ; Zurich U.) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Sacristan Barbero, Mario (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Durante, Marco (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Schuy, Christoph (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Wagner, Tim (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) et al.
Very-high-energy (VHE), heavy ions are of particular interest for single event effects (SEEs) testing due to their combination of high linear energy transfer (LET) and high penetration within electronics components. The dosimetry of such beams poses an important challenge for facilities aiming to provide VHE ions for radiation effects testing. [...]

Characterization of Fragmented Ultrahigh-Energy Heavy Ion Beam and Its Effects on Electronics Single-Event Effect Testing
/ Barbero, Mario Sacristán (CERN ; IES, Montpellier) ; Slipukhin, Ivan (CERN ; IES, Montpellier) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Prelipcean, Daniel (CERN) ; Aguiar, Ygor (CERN) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Kastriotou, Maria (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory) et al.
Ultrahigh-energy (UHE) (>5 GeV/n) heavy ion beams exhibit different properties when compared to standard and high-energy ion beams. Most notably, fragmentation is a fundamental feature of the beam that may have important implications for electronics testing given the ultrahigh energies and, hence, ranges, preserved by the fragments.
