Protons, Aerospace, and Electronics: A National Interest

The aerospace and semiconductor industries lost 2000 hours annually of research access when IUCF closed. An ad hoc team between the U.S. government and industry was formed to evaluate other facility options. In this presentation, we will discuss: 1) Why aerospace, semiconductor manufacturers, and others are interested in proton facility access, as well as, 2) Some of the basics of a typical test for electronics, and 3) We'll conclude with the brief current status on progress

Domestic Proton Facilities for Radiation Testing of Electronics: Snapshot Report

This is an update to the ongoing series of presentations tracking the state of domestic proton facility access for the purpose of single event effects (SEE) testing of microelectronics devices and systems. This includes proton research facilities and oncology therapy centers

Team Update on North American Proton Facilities for Radiation Testing

In the wake of the closure of the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF), this presentation provides an overview of the options for North American proton facilities. This includes those in use by the aerospace community as well as new additions from the cancer therapy regime. In addition, proton single event testing background is provided for understanding the criteria needed for these facilities for electronics testing
