Abstract

A 24-GeV proton beam is available at the Cern High energy AcceleRator Mixed field facility which can be used to test components and boards for single-event effects (SEEs) at a worst case energy for both accelerator and interplanetary space applications. The main beam characteristics are described, and SEE results for three different components are presented in combination with Monte Carlo results, focusing on the significant energy dependence, and risk of underestimating the operational error rate for hard spectral environments when considering SEE cross sections measured at proton cyclotron facilities.
