摘要

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。

Fast Neutron Measurements for the Characterization of the ChipIr Beamline

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.

期刊介绍： The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is viewed as the primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. As judged by JCR impact factor, TNS consistently ranks in the top five journals in the category of Nuclear Science & Technology. It has one of the higher immediacy indices, indicating that the information it publishes is viewed as timely, and has a relatively long citation half-life, indicating that the published information also is viewed as valuable for a number of years. The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is published bimonthly. Its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; particle accelerators and their controls; nuclear medicine and its application; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; and measurement of radiation in space.
