Abstract:

FLUKA was used to extract information about the particle fragments from
hadron-Silicon interactions responsible for SEEs in microelectronic devices. The
focus was set on the particular effects related to GeV-hadrons, which cannot be
tested for in conventional experimental facilities; as well as in pion-induced
events, due to the significant contribution of these particles to the total
high-energy hadron fluence.

In addition, simulations were performed to extract the fission cross section of
energetic protons and neutrons on tungsten, motivated by the limited
experimental data in the GeV-energy range. In addition, a transport study of the
high-LET fission products was carried out.
