Internuclear cascade-evaporation model for LET spectra of 200 MeV protons used for parts testing
The Linear Energy Transfer (LET) spectrum produced in microelectronic components during testing with 200 MeV protons is calculated with an internuclear cascade-evaporation code. This spectrum is compared to the natural space heavy ion environment for various earth orbits. This comparison is used to...

Summary: | The Linear Energy Transfer (LET) spectrum produced in microelectronic components during testing with 200 MeV protons is calculated with an internuclear cascade-evaporation code. This spectrum is compared to the natural space heavy ion environment for various earth orbits. This comparison is used to evaluate the results of proton testing in terms of determining a firm upper bound to the on-orbit heavy ion upset rate and the risk of on-orbit heavy ion failures that would not be detected with protons. |
