Title:
QCA-005
Utilisation of the Radiation Effects Facility (RADEXF) for Components Studies
The Heavy Ion Irradiation Facility (JYFL) at the Department of Physics of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, has been
utilised by ESA for several extended radiation test campaigns in the last years. First to determine the principle capabilities
and suitability of this facility to support irradiation tests on EEE components and then in a comparative programme to perform
a correlation between several European and US accelerator facilities. These test campaigns have been increasingly
successful and productive, confirming its high energy beam quality and usefulness for EEE component testing. Following the
approach established for other ESA radiation test facilities (HIF (B) and PIF (CH)) it is proposed to utilise JYFL as a state of
the art test facility providing urgently needed complementary test capabilities and additional test capacity to ESA and the
European Space Industry.
After a short (1 year) set-up phase JYFL shall provide under the proposed contract (five years contract, 110kE/year) at least
480 hours of beam time per year specifically for the characterisation and testing of EEE components. This shall include the
cost of 240 hours of priority beam time for ESA, associated support, maintenance and nominal test area upgrades. These
240 hours will be primarily utilised by TRP activities related to component research and development. In addition it will
reserve a minimum of 240 hours of extra beam time for ESA projects and European Space Industry users at preferential
hourly rates (subject to separate purchase orders).
