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. [...]

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.

Overview of total ionizing dose levels in the Large Hadron Collider during 2022 restart
/ Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Garcia Alia, Ruben (CERN) ; Girard, Sylvain (Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; Sebban, Marc (Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne)
During the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operation small fractions of the beam are lost continuously, leading to mixed-field radiation. Whereas the 2022 radiation environment in the majority of the locations follows expectations established both through measurements and simulations, some discrepancies with respect to the Run 2 operation (2015-2018) were detected.

Energy deposition studies for the LHCb insertion region of the CERN Large Hadron Collider
/ Ciccotelli, Alessia (Manchester U. ; CERN) ; Appleby, Robert B (Manchester U.) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; Garcia Alia, Ruben (CERN) ; Lechner, Anton (CERN) ; Tsinganis, Andrea (CERN)
The LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty) experiment at CERN LHC aims at achieving a significantly higher luminosity than originally planned by means of two major upgrades: the Upgrade I that took place during the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) and the Upgrade II proposed for LS4. Such an increase in instantaneous and integrated luminosity with respect to the design values requires to reassess the radiation exposure of LHC magnets, cryogenics, and electronic equipment placed in the insertion region 8 (IR8) around LHCb.

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..
