Abstract-A new irradiation position has been constructed, characterized, and put into operation at the ANITA facility in The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) for accelerated testing of components and systems for single event effects. Results of beam characterization measurements are reported. The energyintegrated neutron flux above 10 MeV, amounting to more than 10 7 cm -2 •s -1 , is the highest among the facilities with atmosphericlike spectra. The employed characterization and simulation techniques are applicable for a broad class of neutron facilities.

Abstract-We investigate atmospheric neutron effects on floating-gate cells in NAND Flash memory devices. Charge loss is shown to occur, particularly at the highest program levels, causing raw bit errors in multilevel cell NAND, but to an extent that does not challenge current mandatory error correction specifications. We discuss the physical mechanisms and analyze scaling trends, which show a rapid increase in sensitivity for decreasing feature size.

SEE cross section calibration and application to quasi-monoenergetic and spallation facilities

Abstract. We describe an approach to calibrate SEE-based detectors in monoenergetic fields and apply the resulting semi-empiric responses to more general mixed-field cases in which a broad variety of particle species and energy spectra are involved. The calibration of the response functions is based both on experimental proton and neutron data and considerations derived from Monte Carlo simulations using the FLUKA code. The application environments include the quasi-monoenergetic neutrons at RCNP, the atmospheric-like VESUVIO spallation spectrum and the CHARM high-energy accelerator test facility.
