Abstract | The radiation environment inside particle accelerators varies significantly depending on location: in certain places it can be comparable to avionic or LEO orbit applications while in others it can differ significantly. In addition, the failure criticality also varies significantly. Thus, the testing standards used for space are not directly applicable. This short course will describe a practical approach to component qualification, system tests and the radiation hardness assurance used to design electronics at CERN. The talk will provide examples of two different design cases: 1) an LHC accelerator control system and 2) a highly redundant LHC detector system. |
