Description
WP4 used the research progress in the first three WPs to develop a guideline for radiation testing and verification of radiation tolerant space equipment and small satellites based on commercial electronics. This document is already serving as a key input for engineers across the European industry working on the design and characterization of electronic systems and will be further extended to accelerator and terrestrial applications. It combines fundamental radiation aspects (e.g. particle interaction with matter) and practical aspects (e.g. test facility information) providing an insight to radiation reliability otherwise inaccessible even for the most experienced radiation expert. Such guideline is intended to serve as basis for a new European radiation testing standard for systems.
