TSL beamtime schedule

We provide high-energy particle beams for testing the reliability of your electronic equipment under radiation exposure

Our test facilities simulate the radiation environments in which your electronic equipment shall function reliably. The following facilities are available:

  • A white spectrum neutron beam facility, ANITA, especially suited for Single Event Effects (SEE) testing, due to:
    • a neutron spectrum that resembles the one in the Earth´s atmosphere and at the terrestrial level,
    • the high neutron flux and thus the high "acceleration factor",
    • flexibility and user control of the flux, size and shape of the neutron field.
    Read more about ANITA.
  • A quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam facility, with a beam intensity of 3*10ˆ8 neutrons per second over the beam area in the 20-175 MeV energy range.
    Read more about QME neutron beams.
  • A proton beam facility with a beam in the 20-180 MeV energy range.
    Read more about proton beams.
A user area (>50 m2) is available to customers, where quite large equipment can be set up for radiation tests.
