The SONOS array used analog MVMs to process the last layer of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for TinyImageNet image classification while being irradiated by gamma rays from a Co-60 source. We experimentally characterized how the following quantities were gradually degraded by increasing the total ionizing dose (TID), up to 3.2 Mrad(Si): neural network weights that were mapped to SONOS states, dot products that were computed by analog MVMs, and the resulting image classification accuracy of the neural network. Using multiscale modeling, we confirmed that the experimentally observed accuracy loss originates almost entirely from the state-dependent current shifts induced by ionizing radiation in the SONOS memory cells. Our experimentally validated model of radiation effects in SONOS analog computing can be used to guide the design of reliable space-grade analog IMC accelerators.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 4","pages":"1243-1251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143856311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This challenge is further compounded by issues related to system integration, power consumption, and cost efficiency. To address these challenges, this study proposes two novel multiplexing methods based on Eulerian circuits. Mathematical calculations indicate that with n electronic channels, up to <inline-formula> <tex-math>$n times (n-1)/2 - (n - 2)/2 + 1$ </tex-math></inline-formula> detector channels can be read out, where n is even. Three types of multiplexing circuits were designed, implemented, and tested in combination with micromesh gaseous structure (Micromegas) detectors. Experimental results demonstrate that for a multiplexing circuit with a factor of 8, the spatial resolution remains comparable to the direct readout method, while achieving a detection efficiency exceeding 94%. For a circuit with a multiplexing factor of 16, although the spatial resolution shows a slight degradation, the detection efficiency remains above 93.6%. These results demonstrate that the proposed multiplexing methods can significantly reduce the number of readout channels while maintaining an acceptable level of spatial resolution and detection efficiency. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed multiplexing techniques for applications in fields requiring high-resolution and cost-effective detector systems, such as cosmic-ray muon imaging.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 3","pages":"765-772"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PHY, built with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), leverages a software-defined radio (SDR), which, compared to dedicated transceivers, provides more flexibility and enables enhanced reliability through mitigation techniques. It is designed for low latency to meet the sampling time requirements of current LHC control applications. The PHY is developed to be radiation-tolerant, capable of withstanding the LHC radiation environment. The article presents the radiation characterization of all system components using a 200-MeV proton beam. Experimental results show the link’s robustness against total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event effects (SEEs), with no performance degradation due to SEEs and tolerance up to kGy of dose.

By combining the use of languages such as high-level synthesis (HLS) and open computing language (OpenCL) with FPGA devices, specific hardware architectures can be implemented to solve certain computational problems to gain performance and limit latency.

It is important to measure and understand the dependence of the neutron production rate on the accelerator current and voltage. In this study, we evaluated neutron production with an absolutely calibrated liquid scintillator neutron spectrometer (BTI N-Probe), an absolutely calibrated He-3 detector surrounded by high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shells [Detec nested neutron spectrometer (NNS)], and two uncalibrated zinc sulfide (ZnS) fast neutron scintillators (EJ-410), for both A3082 and A3083 sealed tubes.
