Space radiation can affect performance of electronic components during a satellite's mission. In order to ensure reliable performance, these components must be tested under some types of radiation. Middle East Technical University-Defocusing Beam Line (METU-DBL) project aims to perform Single Event Effect (SEE) tests for space, HiLumi LHC, nuclear and other applications. ESA ESCC No. 25100 Standard Single Event Effect Test Method and Guidelines is considered for these SEE tests. Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEA) has a cyclotron which can accelerate protons up to 30MeV kinetic energy at the Proton Accelerator Facility (PAF) mainly for radioisotope production and for R&D purposes. According to the standard, the proton beam kinetic energy must be between 20MeV and 200MeV. While the proton energy is suitable for SEE tests, the beam size must be 15.40 cm × 21.55 cm and the flux must be between 10⁵ p/cm²/s to at least 10⁸ p/cm²/s according to the standard. The beam size at the entrance of the R&D room is mm-sized and the current is variable between 10 μA and 1.2 mA. Therefore, a defocusing beam line has been designed to enlarge the beam size and reduce the flux. The beam line has three quadrupole magnets to enlarge the beam size and collimators and scattering foils are used for flux reduction. Currently, METU-DBL preliminary test setup, which was installed in the R&D room, enlarges the beam size with only two quadrupole magnets and it reduces the proton flux with a collimator. The final beam size is about 6 cm × 8 cm and the beam flux is ∼10⁹ p/cm²/s. The first tests of electronic components were performed and the commissioning results from the beam measurement system are here presented.

Pretest Setup Installation of the METU-DBL Project to Perform Space Radiation Tests Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Gencer, Ayşenur; Milanese, Attilio; Yigitoglu, Merve; Şahin, İlker; Baslar, Gamze Kilicerkan; Aydın, Murat; Uslu, Pelin; Duran, Selcen Uzun; Veske, Doga; Uzel, Ramazan; Bodur, Baran (2017-06-22) Satellites and spacecrafts are exposed to space radiation environment during their mission. This environment consists of cosmic rays, solar particles and trapped particles. Cosmic rays are coming fromthe outside of our solar system. Solar particles are produced by the Sun. These particles can be trapped around the Earth's magnetic field lines when they approach the Earth's atmosphere. These particles can affect performance and robustness of electronic components or materials used in space and such effects c...
Design of an irradiation test facility for space applications Kızılören, Dilek; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Department of Physics (2014) Space radiation damages electronic components of spacecraft. Damages are due to cosmic rays which consist of protons, photons, electrons, and heavy nuclei. Function- ality and performance of the electronic components in ﬂight depend on the orbital pa- rameters of spacecrafts and exposure time. The space radiation causes three types of effects and these are categorized as Single Event Effects (SEEs), Total Ionizing Dose (TID) Effects and Non-Ionizing Dose Displacement Damage Effects. Radiation hard- ness ass...
A Proton Irradiation Test Facility For Space Research In Ankara, Turkey Demirköz, Melahat Bilge (2018-07-15) Space radiation often affects the electronic components' performance during the mission duration. In order to ensure reliable performance, the components must be tested to at least the expected dose that will be received in space, before the mission. Accelerator facilities are widely used for such irradiation tests around the world. Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEA) has a 15MeV to 30MeV variable proton cyclotron in Ankara and the facility's main purpose is to produce radioisotopes in three different ro...
