A heavy-ion beam monitor based on 3D NAND Flash memories was designed and tested with heavy ions at high energy and low LET. The capability of measuring fluence, angle, uniformity, and LET of impinging particles is discussed, together with the advantages over SRAM-based implementations. We propose ad-hoc algorithms for the extraction of the beam parameters, based only on user-mode commands. A...

Monitoring radiation dose levels in space is crucial, specially with the growing trend on using COTS in space applications. With such a goal, iC-Malaga / Sealicon Microsystems designs and produce integrated dosimeters on-chip, based in its proprietary FGDOS® technology, which allows truly passive (zero power) radiation dosimeter manufacturing in standard commercial CMOS technologies.

Risk prediction in space radiation environments is challenging due to the mixed particle radiation field, especially of charged particle of high energy and charge (HZE) in galactic cosmic rays (GCR). It can be quantified in terms of probability for radiation exposure induced death (REID) from cancer. This approach is strongly based on a track structure of HZE ions determined density of...

The recent revival of space exploration implies an increased interest in space travels that are associated with many challenges and risks, mostly related to the ever-changing adverse space weather. Radiation of any types can be detrimental to both astronauts and the equipment on-board. The capability of monitoring radiation levels reliably in space is therefore becoming a critical aspect for...

The Miniaturized Detector for Application in Space (MIDAS) is developed in response to the requirement of the European Space Agency for a device whose size, power consumption and radiation data output would increase the level of space-flight crew autonomy regarding operational decisions related to radiation hazards. It is based on fully depleted active Si pixel sensors for measuring LET and...

We present SpacepiX Radiation Monitor (SXRM), a novel 5-layer telescopic pixel detector with interleaved absorber layers based on new SpacePix2 ASIC. The SXRM is a low-power (<500mW average power consumption) compact radiation monitor designed for charged particle species and energy determination. It is designed for detection and identification of protons, electrons and heavy ions and it can...

A miniaturized radiation monitor (MIRAM) has been developed by the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics of the Czech Technical University in Prague together with their spin-off company ADVACAM s.r.o.. MIRAM combines a hybrid pixel detector of the Timepix3 technology with a 300 - 500 μm thick silicon sensor with a set of four diodes. It provides a real-time measurement of particle...

The highly integrated particle tracker consists of two Timepix3 ASIC-chip pixel detectors in close geometry and without shielding or collimators. The tracker is operated and readout by a space-designed radiation tolerant on-board payload computer (OPC) which also processes the extensive raw data produced by the pixel detectors (raw data rate up to 10 MB/s). Use of two detectors operated in...
