Completing ChipIR high-energy data with thermal neutrons

Abstract: In previous experiments at ChipIR we have measured and characterized the Single Event Effects (SEEs) produced by high-energy neutrons available at ISIS in different electronic devices (processors, FPGAs, memory, etc..) including object detection algorithms for automotive applications. In this proposal we intend to correlate the high-energy data with thermal neutron flux available at ALF/ROTAX. Modern devices, in fact, include Boron-10 in the doping. The interaction between B-10 and thermal neutrons is likely to generate alpha particles, which lead to SEEs, and is definitely worth being investigated.
