| Title: | A Method for Measuring Hadron Fluence with A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) |
| Description: | Method for measuring hadron fluence with a Field Programmable Gate Array – FPGA (10), wherein the FPGA device (10) comprises a fabric of programmable logic resources, a configuration memory (11) based on Static Random Access Memory – SRAM, wherein the SRAM-based configuration memory (11) is susceptible of hadron-induced single event upsets (SEUs) by indirect ionization, the cross-section per SRAM of the SRAM-based configuration memory (11) having been determined for at least one given particle in an energy range of interest and supply voltage range of the FPGA; wherein the method comprises: determining the hadron fluence as a function of said cross-section and of the count of SEUs in the SRAM -based configuration memory (11) using a read-out logic implemented in the FPGA fabric. |
