SHIM 2015 Swift Heavy Ions in Matter

The space environment is inhospitable to humans and the spacecrafts utilised by us to access space, its systems, subsystems and EEE component. An important element of the space environment is the abundance of high energy particles, constituting the natural space radiation environment. The space radiation environment detrimentally affects EEE components flown on space missions. The impact on...

Due to their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, fatigue strength, low density and low activation under irradiation, titanium (Ti) alloys are currently being considered for use as a structural material for the beam dump shell for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB): A new generation accelerator with high power heavy ion beams. The capability of the FRIB to operate at...

Beam induced hardening and thermal conductivity degradation plays an important role in the failure of targets, beam catchers, beam windows and collimators for the new generation of high power accelerators (Large Hadron Collider, Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, Facility for Rare Isotope Beam). Operating at high temperatures is expected to anneal significantly the radiation dam-age....

Single event effects (SEEs) in semiconductor devices is a phenomenon of increase importance with the development in device technology. In this work, the SEE tests have been carried out by heavy ions from HIRFL accelerator. The Geant4 simulations have been performed to better understand the experimental results. The test strategies for new technologies of very large-scale integration are...
