Irradiation Tests for Commercial Off-the Shelf Components with Atmospheric-like Neutrons and Heavy-Ions
This paper presents the results of the irradiation, performed with atmospheric-like neutrons and heavy-ions, of Commercial Off-the Shelf Components (COTS), which can be used in space missions. In such cases, it is crucial to perform tests in a radiation environment that emulates the environment of different orbits around Earth. In our study we used atmosphericlike neutrons with fluences up to 1011 neutrons/cm-2 and Kr ions of fluences up to 107 ions/cm-2. These intensities are augmented with respect to the atmospheric one in order to shorten the irradiation time while simulating a long-time exposure during a possible mission in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). A similar radiation environment to LEO can also be present during High-Energy Physics experiments. Therefore, the study herby reported can also be helpful for accelerator physics. In this paper we show in detail procedures, setup and results we have obtained on a commercial device normally exploited in automotive environments.
