/ Söderström, Daniel (CERN) ; Aguiar, Ygor (CERN ; Jean Monnet U.) ; Biłko, Kacper (CERN) ; Canesse, Auriane (CERN) ; Lerner, Giuseppe (CERN) ; Prelipcean, Daniel (CERN ; Tech. U., Munich (main)) ; Alía, Rubén García (CERN)
Electronic systems distributed along high-energy particle accelerators need rigorous radiation hardness qualifications to ensure adequate availability of the beam. This work presents the radiation levels on a distributed system, featuring a commercial Cypress 90-nm memory, which is deployed around the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest accelerator within the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

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.

Radiation levels in the LHC tunnel and impact on electronics during the 2023 Pb ion run
/ Canesse, Auriane (CERN) ; Ricci, Daniel (CERN) ; Söderström, Daniel (CERN) ; Di Francesca, Diego (CERN) ; Tagkoudi, Eirini (CERN) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Lerner, Giuseppe (CERN) ; Garcia Alia, Ruben (CERN) ; Fiore, Salvatore (CERN) ; Niang, Samuel (CERN)
The 2023 operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN included a one-month-long run with fully stripped Pb ion beams, marking the first heavy-ion run since 2018, and delivering Pb ion collisions at an unprecedented center-of-mass energy of 5.36 TeV per nucleon pair. During this period, the radiation fields in the LHC tunnel have been measured by means of different radiation monitors, including Beam Loss Monitors (BLMs), RadMons, and distributed optical fiber dosimeters, with the primary goal of quantifying the radiation exposure of electronic systems.

The Ion Accelerator Complex, composed of a linear accelerator (Linac3) and a chain of synchrotrons (Low Energy Ion Ring: LEIR, Proton Synchrotron: PS, Super Proton Synchrotron: SPS and the Large Hadron Collider: LHC) will operate oxygen ion beams for Oxygen–Oxygen (O–O) and proton–Oxygen (p–O) collisions in the LHC in Run 3.

Effects of Thermal Neutron Irradiation on a Self-Refresh DRAM
/ Luza, Lucas Matana (LIRMM, Montpellier) ; Soderstrom, Daniel (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Puchner, Helmut (Unlisted, US) ; Alia, Ruben Garcia (CERN) ; Letiche, Manon (Laue-Langevin Inst.) ; Bosio, Alberto (Lyon, Ecole Centrale) ; Dilillo, Luigi (LIRMM, Montpellier)
In this study, static and dynamic test methods were
used to define the response of a self-refresh DRAM under
thermal neutron irradiation. The neutron-induced failures were
investigated and characterized by event cross-sections, soft-error
rate and bitmaps evaluations, leading to an identification of
permanent and temporarily stuck cells, block errors, and singlebit upsets..

The Pion Single-Event Latch-Up Cross Section Enhancement: Mechanisms and Consequences for Accelerator Hardness Assurance
/ Coronetti, Andrea (CERN ; Jyvaskyla U.) ; Alia, Ruben Garcia (CERN) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Hajdas, Wojtek (PSI, Villigen) ; Soderstrom, Daniel (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Javanainen, Arto (Jyvaskyla U. ; Vanderbilt U. (main)) ; Saigne, Frederic (Montpellier U.)
Pions make up a large part of the hadronic environment typical of accelerator mixed fields. Characterizing device cross sections against pions is usually disregarded in favor of tests with protons, whose single-event latch-up (SEL) cross section is, nonetheless, experimentally found to be lower than that of pions for all energies below 250 MeV.

This study investigates the response of synchronous dynamic random access memories to energetic electrons and especially the possibility of electrons to cause stuck bits in these memories. Three different memories with different node sizes (63, 72, and 110 nm) were tested. [...]
