/ Moindjie, S (IM2NP, Marseille) ; Munteanu, D (IM2NP, Marseille) ; Autran, J L (IM2NP, Marseille ; Rennes U.) ; Dentan, M (CEA Cadarache) ; Moreau, P (CEA Cadarache) ; Pellissier, F P (CEA Cadarache) ; Santraine, B (CEA Cadarache) ; Bucalossi, J (CEA Cadarache) ; Malherbe, V ; Thery, T et al.
We have performed real-time soft error rate (RT-SER) measurements on bulk 65-nm static random access memories (SRAMs) during deuterium-deuterium (D-D) plasma operation at W-tungsten–Environment in Steady-state Tokamak (WEST). The present measurement campaign was characterized by the production of several tens of long pulse discharges (~60 s) and by a total neutron fluence (at the level of the circuits under test) up to ~$10^9$ n$\cdot$cm$^2$ , improving the error statistics by a factor of more than 6 with respect to the first measurements obtained in 2020.

Preliminary study of electronics reliability in ITER neutron environment
/ Dentan, Martin (Euratom, St. Paul Lez Durance ; CEA Cadarache) ; Borgese, Gianluca (Euratom, St. Paul Lez Durance) ; Autran, Jean-Luc (Aix-Marseille U. ; Rennes U.) ; Munteanu, Daniela (IM2NP, Marseille) ; Moindjie, Soilihi (IM2NP, Marseille) ; Bucalossi, Jérôme (CEA Cadarache) ; Moreau, Philippe (CEA Cadarache) ; Pellissier, Francis-Pierre (CEA Cadarache) ; Santraine, Benjamin (CEA Cadarache) ; Roche, Philippe et al.
We validated a method for predicting the Soft Error Rate (SER) in the WEST tokamak operated with deuterium plasmas, and we applied it to predict the SER in the ITER tokamak operated with deuterium-tritium plasmas..

U.) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Gilardi, Antonio (CERN ; Naples U. ; LBNL, Berkeley) ; Farabolini, Wilfrid (CERN ; Saclay) ; Corsini, Roberto (CERN)
We study the radiation environment near the terahertz (THz) dump of the CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research (CLEAR) electron accelerator at CERN, using FLUktuierende KAskade in German (FLUKA) simulations and single-event upset (SEU) measurements taken with 32-Mbit Integrated Silicon Solution Inc. (ISSI) static random access memories (SRAMs). [...]

Assessment of the Quirónsalud Proton Therapy Centre Accelerator for Single Event Effects Testing
/ Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Alía, Rubén García (CERN) ; Sanchez, Juan Antonio Vera ; Mazal, Alejandro
High-energy proton testing is used for single-event effect (SEE) qualification of electronics employed in several radiation-harsh environments. Given the increasing demand, exploiting the capabilities of proton therapy centers for electronics testing may become desirable. [...]

Analysis of the Radiation Field Generated by 200-MeV Electrons on a Target at the CLEAR Accelerator at CERN
/ Lerner, Giuseppe (CERN) ; Pelissou, Pierre (CERN ; INSA, Toulouse) ; Aguiar, Ygor Q (CERN) ; Sacristan Barbero, Mario (CERN) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Biłko, Kacper (CERN) ; Coussen, Louise (CERN ; INSA, Toulouse) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Dyks, Luke (CERN ; Oxford U.) et al.
The radiation showers generated by the interaction of high-energy electrons with matter include neutrons with an energy distribution peaked at the MeV scale, produced via photonuclear reactions, allowing measurements of neutron-induced single-event effects (SEEs) in electronic devices. In this work, we study a setup where the 200-MeV electron beam of the CLEAR accelerator at European Organization for Nuclear Research [Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN)] is directed on an aluminum target to produce a radiation field with a large neutron component.

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. [...]

Quantification of Neutron-Induced Single-Event Upsets in a Static Random-Access Memory by Clinical High-Energy Photon Beam
/ Gabrisch, Lukas (Oldenburg U.) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Delfs, Björn (Oldenburg U.) ; Looe, Hui Khee (Oldenburg U.) ; Budroweit, Jan (DLR, Bremen) ; Alía, Rubén García (CERN) ; Poppe, Björn (Oldenburg U.) ; Wyrwoll, Vanessa (Oldenburg U.)
The possibility of using calibrated static random-access memory (SRAM) memory for the quantification of neutron fluence in a radiotherapy facility for cancer treatment utilizing a high-energy 15-MV photon beam (Bremsstrahlung) from an electron linear accelerator has been exploited in this work. This has been performed by varying the field size of the photon beam and the positioning of the SRAM memory at three different positions in relation to the isocenter of the beam. [...]
