The Radiation to Electronics (R2E) project provides crucial support for radiation tolerant developments throughout the ATS sector, while ensuring the harmonization and quality control of the related procedure. Despite the significant progress in the overall R2E performance of the LHC from Run 1 to Run 2, critical challenges lay ahead with respect to guaranteeing a compliant radiation...
We will briefly present the requirements and constraints that drive the need for an R2E approach for radiation tolerant development and qualification of accelerator systems. A special focus is set on the radiation sensitivity of COTS components (and variability thereof).
The R2E project generates many results of interest to the enlarged radiation effects community and catalyses synergies with other domains (especially aerospace). An overview of the multiple running collaborations where the R2E project is playing a critical role will be presented, with focus on European projects and knowledge transfer activities.
