09:20 → 10:10 Proposed High Energy Single Event Effects Facility at BNL

Abstract:
In this talk I will describe the status and plans for building a high energy effects testing facility (HEET), designed for single event effects testing, at BNL off the AGS. The purpose of the facility is to simulate space weather by producing suites of particle beams (ion species at various energies to simulate galactic cosmic ray and solar particle events). The demand for such a capability is high, as we deploy more systems into the space environment. The demand will only grow as space exploration expands and becomes more commercial. In the talk I will describe the motivations, the proposed facility, the status of the proposal in the US funding process, and how we imagine the facility will be operated.

About the speaker:
Kevin A. Brown is a Physicist at BNL and an adjunct Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Stony Brook University. He is leading the design and development of the proposed BNL HEET facility.
