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.

Proton Dominance of Sub-LET Threshold GCR SEE Rate
/ Garcia Alia, Ruben (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Ferlet-Cavrois, Veronique (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Brandenburg, Sytze (Groningen, KVI) ; Calcutt, Jordan (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Daly, Eamonn (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Ferrari, Alfredo (CERN) ; Muschitiello, Michele (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Santin, Giovanni (ESTEC, Noordwijk) et al.
We apply a Monte Carlo based integral rectangular parallel-piped (IRRP) approach to evaluate the impact of heavy ion reaction products on the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) Single Event Effect (SEE) rate, concluding that owing to their similar high-energy (>100 MeV/n) SEE cross section and much larger abundance, protons are expected to be the dominating contributor. In addition, a broad set of components, ions and energies is used to explore the sub-LET threshold experimental region for standard ground-level heavy ion test energies, identifying an overall decreasing trend in the 10-80 MeV/n range due to the decreased contribution of complete and break-up fusion, and pointing out the limitations associated to the application of Monte Carlo SEE models in this energy interval..

SEE Tests With Ultra Energetic Xe Ion Beam in the CHARM Facility at CERN
/ Fernández-Martínez, Pablo (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Kastriotou, Maria (CERN) ; Kerboub, Nourdine (CERN) ; Tali, Maris (CERN) ; Wyrwoll, Vanessa (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Cangialosi, Chiara (CERN) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) et al.
Taking advantage of the heavy ion acceleration program, tests on radiation effects with Ultrahigh Energy (UHE) xenon ion beams (with Energy > 5 GeV/nucleon) have been performed in several experimental areas of the CERN accelerator complex. Specifically, the outcomes of the first UHE heavy ion test campaign carried out at the CHARM facility are presented and discussed in this contribution. [...]

Single Event Effect Testing With Ultrahigh Energy Heavy Ion Beams
/ Kastriotou, Maria (CERN) ; Fernandez-Martinez, Pablo (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Cazzaniga, Carlo (Rutherford) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Lerner, Giuseppe (CERN) ; Tali, Maris (CERN) ; Kerboub, Nourdine (CERN) ; Wyrwoll, Vanessa (CERN) et al.
Single event effect (SEE) testing with ultrahigh energy (UHE) heavy ions, such as the beams provided at CERN, presents advantages related to their long ranges with a constant linear energy transfer value. In the present work, the possibility to test components in parallel is being examined, and results from the CERN 2018 UHE Pb test campaigns are studied. [...]

Sub-LET Threshold SEE Cross Section Dependency With Ion Energy

This study focuses on the ion species and energy dependence of the heavy ion SEE cross section in the sub-LET threshold region through a set of experimental data. In addition, a Monte Carlo based model is introduced and applied, showing a good agreement with the data in the several hundred MeV/n range while evidencing large discrepancies with the measurements in the 10-30 MeV/n interval, notably for the Ne ion.

Direct Ionization Impact on Accelerator Mixed-Field Soft-Error Rate

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.

Longitudinal Direct Ionization Impact of Heavy Ions on See Testing for Ultrahigh Energies

Ultrahigh-energy (UHE) heavy ions show various advantages at testing single-event effect (SEE) in modern technologies, due to their highly penetrating nature. However, the intercepting material in the beam line contributes to the modification of the beam structure by generation of fragments produced via nuclear interactions. [...]

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.

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. [...]
