Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Costantino, Alessandra (ESTEC, Noordwijk) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Danzeca, Salvatore (CERN) ; Delrieux, Marc (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew Alexander (CERN) ; Girard, Sylvain (Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne ; IUF, Paris) ; Johnson, Eliott Philippe (CERN) et al.
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.

Very-High-Energy Heavy Ion Beam Dosimetry Using Solid State Detectors for Electronics Testing
/ Waets, Andreas (CERN ; Zurich U.) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Sacristan Barbero, Mario (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Durante, Marco (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Schuy, Christoph (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Wagner, Tim (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) et al.
Very-high-energy (VHE), heavy ions are of particular interest for single event effects (SEEs) testing due to their combination of high linear energy transfer (LET) and high penetration within electronics components. The dosimetry of such beams poses an important challenge for facilities aiming to provide VHE ions for radiation effects testing. [...]

Enhancement of System Observability During System-Level Radiation Testing Through Total Current Consumption Monitoring
/ Slipukhin, Ivan (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Alía, Rubén García (CERN) ; Saigné, Frédéric (IES, Montpellier) ; Boch, Jérôme (IES, Montpellier) ; Dilillo, Luigi (IES, Montpellier) ; Aguiar, Ygor Q (CERN) ; Cazzaniga, Carlo ; Kastriotou, Maria ; Dodd, Torran
System-level testing of electronics is an affordable method of assessment of the performance of complete electronic systems designed for applications in the radiation environment. Compared to component-level testing, system-level test offers a much smaller degree of observability about the performance of particular system elements. [...]

The CELESTA CubeSat has employed radiation monitors developed by the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) Centre, used for measuring the radiation environment at accelerators, to measure the space radiation field in a medium-Earth orbit (MEO). The technology is based on three static random-access memories (SRAMs) that are sensitive to single-event upsets (SEUs) and single-event latchups (SELs). [...]

Characterization of Fragmented Ultrahigh-Energy Heavy Ion Beam and Its Effects on Electronics Single-Event Effect Testing
/ Barbero, Mario Sacristán (CERN ; IES, Montpellier) ; Slipukhin, Ivan (CERN ; IES, Montpellier) ; Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Prelipcean, Daniel (CERN) ; Aguiar, Ygor (CERN) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Kastriotou, Maria (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory) et al.
Ultrahigh-energy (UHE) (>5 GeV/n) heavy ion beams exhibit different properties when compared to standard and high-energy ion beams. Most notably, fragmentation is a fundamental feature of the beam that may have important implications for electronics testing given the ultrahigh energies and, hence, ranges, preserved by the fragments.

An Analysis of the Significance of the 14N(n, p) 14C Reaction for Single-Event Upsets Induced by Thermal Neutrons in SRAMs

The thermal neutron threat to the reliability of electronic devices caused by $^{10}\text{B}$ capture is a recognized issue that prompted changes in the manufacturing process of electronic devices with the aim of limiting as much as possible the presence of this isotope nearby device sensitive volumes (SVs). $^{14}\text{N}$ can also capture thermal neutrons and release low-energy protons (LEPs; through the $^{14}\text{N}$ (n, p) $^{14}\text{C}$ reaction) that have high enough linear energy transfer (LET) to cause single-event upsets (SEUs).
