R. Gaillard, FLASH X-RAY AND HEAVY-IONS TRANSIENT EFFE CTS SIMULATION WITH LASER -INTEREST, LIMITATIONS, NEW DEVELOPMENTS, Onde electrique, 75(3), 1995, pp. 77-79
Q Switched solid state laser (glass, YAG, YLF) are often used to simul
ate transient radiation effects on electronics (TREE). Ultrashort puls
es (ps or fs duration) generation by tunable laser allow us to simulat
e linear energy transfer (LET) and penetration depth of heavy ions wit
h precise spatial location and low time jitter. Simulation limitations
related to metallisation shadows and different ionisation profiles ar
e discussed.
