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.

Fragmented High-Energy Heavy-Ion Beams for Electronics Testing
/ García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN ; Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN ; IES, Montpellier) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi (CERN) ; Pujol, Francesc Salvat (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN ; U. Zurich (main)) ; Girard, Sylvain (Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; Saigné, Frédéric (IES, Montpellier) et al.
Fragmented heavy-ion beams obtained from the
interaction of highly energetic ions with thick targets relative
to the ion ranges are proposed to mimic the high-penetration
linear energy transfer (LET) spectrum present in space and
for electronics testing. Our experimental data characterizing
fragmented heavy-ion beams show an excellent level of agreement
with the Monte Carlo simulations, serving as an initial proofof-concept of the proposed single-event effect (SEE) testing
approach..

We evaluate the temperature effect on the X-ray radiation-induced luminescence (RIL) of differently doped silica fibers obtained via the sol-gel route. Previous investigations showed that these optical materials exhibit interesting dosimetry properties, such as very good detection capabilities and linear response over a large range of dose rate.

Radiation Monitoring With Radiosensitive Pure-Silica Core Ultralow Loss Optical Fiber
/ Weninger, Luca (Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; Morana, Adriana (Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; Campanella, Cosimo (Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; Vidalot, Jeoffray (Lab.

This article presents a new prospect for radiation detection exploiting the high radiation sensitivity of an ultralow-loss pure-silica core optical fiber (ULL-PSCF). This fiber exhibits very high transient X-ray radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) levels from UV to IR during irradiation, while its RIA quickly returns to a low permanent level after irradiation.

Radiation Environment in the Large Hadron Collider During the 2022 Restart and Related RHA Implications

In this work, we present the radiation environment of the large hadron collider (LHC), focusing on the year 2022, the first after the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) (2019–2021). We highlight the most prominent radiation-level changes with respect to the 2018 operation, commenting on the related Radiation Hardness Assurance implications. [...]

CERN Super Proton Synchrotron Radiation Environment and Related Radiation Hardness Assurance Implications
/ Biłko, Kacper (CERN ; Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Di Francesca, Diego (CERN) ; Aguiar, Ygor (CERN) ; Danzeca, Salvatore (CERN) ; Gilardoni, Simone (CERN) ; Girard, Sylvain (Lab.

The super proton synchrotron (SPS) is the second largest accelerator at CERN where protons are accelerated between 16 and 450 GeV/c. Beam losses, leading to the mixed-field radiation of up to MGy magnitude, pose a threat to the reliability of the electronic equipment and polymer materials located in the tunnel and its vicinity.

Solar Particle Event Detection With the LUMINA Optical Fiber Dosimeter Aboard the International Space Station

LUMINA, a fiber-based dosimeter, exploiting the radiation induced attenuation (RIA) phenomenon, has been operational inside the International Space Station (ISS) since August 2021. We discuss in this article its capability to detect the possible signatures of recent solar particle events (SPEs) through the related increase of the dose rate (DR) radiation level within the ISS.

Heavy Ion Nuclear Reaction Impact on SEE Testing: From Standard to Ultra-high Energies
/ Wyrwoll, Vanessa (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Røed, Ketil (Oslo U.) ; Fernández-Martínez, Pablo (CERN) ; Kastriotou, Maria (CERN) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Kerboub, Nourdine (CERN) ; Tali, Maris (CERN) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN)
We perform Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to describe heavy ion (HI) nuclear interactions in a broad energy range (4 MeV/n–150 GeV/n), focusing on the single event effect (SEE) sub-linear energy transfer (LET) impact. Previously retrieved single event latch-up (SEL) experimental data have indicated that standard energy ions (~10 MeV/n) can produce high-LET secondaries through fusion reactions which are expected to strongly influence the SEE cross section in the sub-LET region.

A characterization of radiophotoluminescence (RPL) dosimeters at high doses of X-ray radiation for applications in high-radiation areas is presented. Commercial FD-7 silver-doped phosphate glasses (1.5$\times$ 8.5mm) in use at CERN for passive dosimetry are irradiated using commercial X-ray tubes. [...]
