Characterization of Fully Fragmented High-Energy Heavy-Ion Beams for SEE Testing Through Measurements and Simulations
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Fully fragmented, very-high-energy (VHE) heavy-ion beams offer interesting possibilities for radiation hardness assurance testing of electronic components exposed to the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) space environment. In this article, we perform the dosimetry of these fully fragmented ion beams through a combination of silicon solid-state detector measurements and detailed Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in FLUKA focusing on the interaction between the beam and the device under test. The tested experimental configurations highlight the challenges of implementing this method in VHE ion facilities. The MC simulations offer further insights into the optimization of this approach.
