Session 2 - Atmospheric and terrestrial applications

  • Françoise Bezerra (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales - CNES)

Description

This session is dedicated to businesses within the realm of neutrons. We focus on the reliability of avionic systems, vehicles and data servers. The first half of the session is dedicated to users and companies expressing their needs in radiation testing. The second half is focussed on technical presentation of facilities capable of addressing those needs. The session ends with a Q&A session on the limitations of current offer and their possible evolutions.

  1. 15. Radiation concerns in the automotive industry mechanisms, standards, typical measurements
    Dan Alexandrescu (IROC Technologies)
    09/12/2020, 14:30

    Current and future automotive and autonomous applications are complex, forward-looking systems, involving large quantities of silicon, machine computing power and human brains and tears.
    Their quality is prescribed, described and expected by demanding standards. These benevolent dictators set requirements for functional safety and reliability targets and development and manufacturing...

  2. 16. Ensuring the reliability of power electronic devices with regard to terrestrial cosmic radiation
    Gerald Soelkner (Infineon)
    09/12/2020, 14:55

    Terrestrial cosmic radiation (CR) is a significant factor for the reliability of power electronic devices, for all voltage classes from 150V to 6500V, for all device types and irrespective of the base material. Exact failure rate data are required to balance CR hardness and electrical performance for an optimum system design. Accelerated irradiation testing methods depend on the availability...

    Chipir: A Fast Neutron Beamline for Single-Event-Effect Testing
    Chris Frost

    Neutron single-event-effects are an increasing problem in modern electronic devices and systems, causing a range of substantial reliability issues and failures. To address this problem the UK's ISIS Neutron and Muon Source designed and now operates ChipIr, a fast-neutron beamline that mimics the atmospheric-like...

  7. 21. CHARM Radiation Facility at CERN
    Ruben Garcia Alia (CERN)
    09/12/2020, 16:30

    Since 2014, the CHARM facility at CERN is used to qualify electronic components and systems, mainly for accelerator applications. Its radiation environment and mechanical and electrical infrastructure make it a unique facility for testing radiation-tolerant systems for the LHC accelerator and its injector chain. Moreover, CHARM is also of potential interest for ground-level and space applications.

  8. 22. LNL- The NEPIR Facility - Fast neutrons
    Jeffery Wyss (INFN Legnaro National Laboratory)
    09/12/2020, 16:45

    We describe NEPIR, the fast-neutron irradiation facility under development at the 70 MeV cyclotron SPES facility of the INFN laboratory of Legnaro (LNL). The facility will be used to investigate neutron-induced Single Event Effects (SEE) in microelectronic devices and systems. It will be constructed in stages, according to the available funds. The initial funded configuration, based on a novel...
