“…Three types of tests were conducted, TID tests, DD tests, and combined TID-DD tests. The pure TID responses were obtained with gamma irradiation performed in the CC60 facility of CERN with a cobalt 60 source [10]. It has to be noted that gamma rays also induce displacement damage, but for the TID levels considered for COTS components and the one reached in this study, this contribution is considered negligible.…”

Integrated Circuits sensitive to both Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Displacement Damage (DD) effects can exhibit degradation profiles resulting from a combination of degradation mechanisms induced by both effects. This work presents circuit simulations based on experimental data to explain degradation mechanisms induced by combined TID and DD effects on a bipolar IC current source. First, the effect of the degradation of each internal transistor on the circuit's response is evaluated by applying electrical parametric changes. Then simulations are performed from different degradation scenarios based on observed circuit behaviors to reproduce the different TID, DD, and combined TID-DD responses. These simulations show that a synergistic interaction between a current leakage induced by DD on a transistor located in the bandgap reference part with the gain degradation of a current mirror induced by both TID and DD appears to be responsible for the combined TID-DD response. It is also shown that the circuit degradation rate depends on the DDD/TID rate ratios encountered during the exposition.

“…As highlighted in Section I, the targeted working environment, such as LHC-shielded alcoves, will be neutrondominant. To demonstrate the detection capabilities in the several neutron fields, the tests were performed at: the Am-Be source, located in CALLAB at CERN [18]; at a CERN surface building under the exposure to atmospheric radiation; at the spallation neutron facility TRIUMF-BL1B [19]- [21]; and at the CERN accelerator environment, close to the Linear Accelerator 3 (LINAC3) [22]. The simulated energy spectra for these fields are depicted in Fig.…”

We present applications of a large commercial silicon diode (50 cm 2 x 500 um) for monitoring low-intensity radiation fields, together with benchmarks via Monte Carlo simulations. After the energy calibration with monoenergetic proton and alpha beams in the 2-8 MeV range, we show that the detector is capable of measuring atmospheric radiation at the ground level, not only in terms of a total number of events but also through their energy deposition distribution. Focusing on the atmospheric-like neutron spectrum, we prove that the diode detection cross-section is more than 5 orders of magnitude larger with respect to SRAM-based solutions, and highlight the potential use cases in the accelerator's radiation environment.

A reliable and highly scalable Internet of Things 1 (IoT) end-to-end data infrastructure has been developed for 2 environmental radiation monitoring at CERN based on a Low-3 Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN). The proposed system, 4 called W-MON (Waste radiation MONitoring), consists of an in-5 terconnected network of thousands of highly sensitive and ultra-6 low power gamma radiation sensors acting as LoRa transceivers.
