For 30 years, the Radiation Effects Facility at Texas A&M’s Cyclotron Institute has been a leading provider of heavy ion beam time for space radiation testing, delivering nearly 80,000 hours from its K500 and K150 cyclotrons. Offering proton beams up to 45 MeV and ions from Helium to Gold up to 40 MeV/u, the facility supports testing of most microchips. Three decades of beam time has enabled space agencies to study single event upset effects and develop mitigation strategies for mission critical microchips. This webinar will cover the Radiation Effects program, including the current K150 Cyclotron single event effects upgrade project and a facility expansion plan that will optimize and expand current capabilities.

Dr. Henry L. Clark (Texas A&M University)

Dr. Henry L. Clark earned his Ph.D. in nuclear and high energy physics from Ohio University in 1993. He joined the Cyclotron Institute to help build equipment for the K500 cyclotron, later becoming an accelerator physicist and Radiation Effects program manager. He has also led major facility upgrades, including the K150 cyclotron re-commissioning and its current single event effects upgrade.
