"T1₂LiYC1₆:Ce: A New Elpasolite Scintillator" by R. Hawrami, E. Ariesanti, L. Soundara-Pandian, J. Glodo, and K. S. Shah T1₂LiYC1₆:Ce (TLYC), a new cerium dopedthallium based, dual mode gamma and neutron elpasolite scintillation crystal, has been grown and evaluated at RMD. Energy resolution of 4.2% at 662 keV (FWHM) is measured for samples of this material. From comparison with a 137Cs spectrum collected with NaI:Tl, a gamma-ray induced light yield of 26,000 ph/MeV is estimated for TLYC. The material also shows better proportionality of response than both LaBr3:Ce and NaI:Tl in the energy range between 32 keV to 1275 keV. Single thermal neutron interactions produce a peak measured at a gamma equivalent energy of 1.9 MeVee, corresponding to a (neutron induced) light yield of approximately 47,000 ph/n. Decay times obtained from gamma-ray interactions in TLYC are measured at about 57 ns, 431 ns, and 1055 ns, with slightly shorter values measured for neutron interactions. These differences allow for gamma-neutron pulse shape discrimination (PSD) and a PSD Figure-of-Merit (FOM) of 2 is measured with TLYC. more...

"Characterization of Solar Energetic H and He Spectra Measured by the Energetic Particle Telescope (EPT) On-Board PROBA-V During the January 2014 SEP Event" by Sylvie Benck, Stanislav Borisov, Mathias Cyamukungu, Hugh Evans, and Petteri J. Nieminen On January 6, 2014 a Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) event started that led to a 1030 cm-2s-1sr-1 peak flux of E > 10 MeV protons on January 9, 2014 at geosynchronous orbit, an event exceeded only by about 15% of all SEP events. Such high flux events contribute the most to solar event-induced radiation effects in space equipment, while being easy to characterize based on data acquired by spectrometers, such as the EPT. The EPT instrument provides fluxes of electrons (0.5-20 MeV), H (9.5-300 MeV) and He (38-1200 MeV) ions. It presently flies on the PROBA-V satellite, launched into a Low Earth Orbit on May 7, 2013. As it has been reported that the He contribution to Total Non-Ionizing Dose (TNID) may be comparable to that of H in representative space environments, a data analysis to identify periods of high He flux as compared to H, and conditions under which both ions must be accounted for during radiation effect analyses, was performed. From the study of the positional variation of solar H and He fluxes, a formulation of the minimum L-value reached by these particles for a given rigidity is provided. The shape of solar H and He energy spectra as well as the H/He fluence ratio and pitch angle distributions are characterized. The contribution of He compared to H for Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and TNID effects is below 5% for devices shielded by >2mm AI. more...

"An Area Efficient Stacked Latch Design Tolerant to SEU in 28 nm FDSOI Technology" by H.-B. Wang, L. Chen, R. Liu, Y.-Q. Li, J. S. Kauppila, B. L. Bhuva, K. Lilja, S.-J. Wen, R. Wong, R. Fung, and S. Baeg In this paper, we present D flip-flop, Quatro, and stacked Quarto flip-flop designs fabricated in a commercial 28-nm CMOS FDSOI technology. Stacked-transistor structures are introduced in the stacked Quatro design to protect the sensitive devices of the original structure. Striking either of the stacked devices will not upset the latch because the conduction path to the supply rail is still cut off by the other off-state device. The irradiation experimental results substantiate that the stacked Quatro design has significantly better SEU tolerance (e.g., higher heavy ion upset Linear Energy Transfer threshold and smaller cross-section data) than the reference designs. It introduces power and area penalties because the proposed design duplicates and stacks two sensitive PMOS devices. Additionally, the impact of technology scaling on Quatro in various technology nodes (130-nm, 65-nm, and 40-nm) has been studied suggesting decreasing upset threshold and decreasing cross-section data. more...
