Impact of Thermal and Intermediate Energy Neutrons on SRAM SEE Rates in the LHC Accelerator

This paper summarizes the main results related to the single event upset and single event latch-up cross section measurements performed at CHARM in a location with a strong contribution from thermal and intermediate energy neutrons. We introduce a new experimental procedure to unfold the thermal and high-energy hadron contributions to the single event effect rate in the mixed-field environment and benchmark the result against those obtained in standard test facilities, highlighting the possible implications on the state-of-the-art component qualification.
