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.
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.
