Abstract

The ChipIr beamline at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (U.K.) is an atmospheric-like neutron facility for Single Event Effect testing in Europe. ChipIr’s design allows the extraction of fast neutrons from a target station of a spallation source, using an 800 MeV proton beam on tungsten target. The facility’s architecture includes a set of filters and collimators, allowing a range of possible configurations and capabilities. A primary measurement method using activation foils identifies the neutron flux and broad energy spectrum. Silicon detectors are used as an active method that allows for the measurement of beam profiles. Results demonstrated that ChipIr provides a neutron spectrum that closely mimics the atmospheric neutron environment, confirming its significance for industry testing in safety-critical electronics.

快速中子测量用于确定 ChipIr 光束线的特性

英国卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室的 ChipIr 光束线是欧洲用于单事件效应测试的大气类中子设施。ChipIr 的设计允许使用钨靶上的 800 MeV 质子束从溅射源靶站中提取快中子。该设施的结构包括一组滤波器和准直器，允许一系列可能的配置和功能。使用活化箔的主要测量方法可识别中子通量和宽能谱。硅探测器作为一种主动方法，可用于测量光束轮廓。结果表明，ChipIr 提供的中子能谱非常接近大气中子环境，证实了其对安全关键电子设备行业测试的重要意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
