A variety of undoped multimode step-index fibres and Ge-doped single mode and graded index fibres is irradiated by 14 MeV neutrons and /sup 60/Co gamma rays up to the same total dose. Radiation-induced loss and breaking stress are measured. The loss induced during gamma irradiation of Ge-doped fibres is about 2.5 times higher than during neutron irradiation with the same dose rate, up to a fluence of about 3/spl times/10/sup 12/ cm/sup -2/ (14 MeV). This loss ratio decreases to /spl les/2.0 after about 10/sup 13/ cm/sup -2/ (14 MeV). Monte Carlo calculations of the dose enhancement as caused by fast recoil protons out of the H-containing acrylate coating are confirmed experimentally. 14 MeV neutron irradiation up to /spl les/10/sup 13/ cm/sup -2/ seems to decrease fibre breaking stress by 3-4%, whereas /sup 60/Co gamma irradiation up to the same total dose has no effect.

A 3D study of deep charging in a satellite has been carried out. A complex model. Satellite structure has been assembled via software named "Builder" developed in-house for this purpose, The generated file formed an input file for the code "ACCEPT", a 3D Monte Carlo electron/photon propagation simulator. The code was run on the 500 MHz DEC Alpha RISC platform. Both low and high fluence conditions affecting the internal charging state of the satellite at GEO have been considered. The approach presented allows analysis of realistic charging scenarios.

The dose rate hardening of a CMOS/SOI technology is evaluated in this paper. The response of elementary transistors is studied with an original method by using a 2D drift-diffusion code. The photocurrent model is introduced in SPICE simulation to predict the sensitivity of complex circuits. A good agreement is observed between simulation and experiment. Simple rules to harden circuits are deduced from simulation.

An unfolding procedure is proposed which aims at obtaining spectral information of a neutron radiation field by the analysis of the response of a multi-element system consisting of converter type semiconductors. For the unfolding procedure an artificial neural network (feed forward network), trained by the back-propagation method, was used. The response functions of the single elements to neutron radiation were calculated by application of a computational model for an energy range from 10/sup -2/ eV to 10 MeV. The training of the artificial neural network was based on the computation of responses of a six-element system for a set of 300 neutron spectra and the application of the back-propagation method. The validation was performed by the unfolding of 100 computed responses. Two unfolding examples were pointed out for the determination of the neutron spectra. The spectra resulting from the unfolding procedure agree well with the original spectra used for the response computation.

Over the last 30 years or so, a handful of events observed in ground-based cosmic ray detectors seem to have opened a new window in the field of high-energy astrophysics. These events have energies exceeding 5/spl times/10/sup 19/ eV (the region of the so-called Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin spectral cutoff); they seem to come from no known astrophysical source; their chemical composition is mostly unknown; no conventional accelerating mechanism is considered as being able to explain their production and propagation to Earth. Only a dedicated detector can bring in the high-quality and statistically significant data needed to solve this long-lasting puzzle: this is the aim of the Anger Observatory project around which a world-wide collaboration is being mobilised. A large amount of information and technical documents can be consulted on many Web pages accessible through: http://www-lpnhep.in2p3.fr/auger/.

A method combining charge pumping and current-voltage measurements is presented for determining the surface potential versus gate voltage relationship in irradiated MOS transistors. This technique uses parameter optimization and simple numerical equations. It can be applied even for a high interface state density and for a non-uniform distribution in the silicon bandgap. This makes the method attractive for all studies concerning interface trap characterization or accurate modeling of MOS transistors in subthreshold regime. In this study, this new approach is applied to n-channel transistors irradiated up to 10 Mrad (SiO/sub 2/).
