Following a short overview of the effects of radiation on materials (absorbed dose, non-ionizing effects, single-event effects) we give some examples of how these things can be evaluated and mitigated in particle-physics applications.
We give a brief overview of tokamaks, their electronics and their radiation environment. Then we present the main effects of these radiations on electronics, with emphasis on neutron-induced SEEs. We then explain how to ensure the reliability of electronics in the radiation environment of tokamaks. Finally, we present the studies carried out on this subject in the JET tokamak during the 2023...
Jupiter’s radiation environment is one the harshest in the solar system, discover how JUICE - ESA’s recently launched mission to Jupiter was prepared for it, with a focus on the large and unprecedently sensitive payload suite designed to survive for a 4-year journey around Jupiter and its moons.
