Space exploration is entering a new era, with the advent of widespread use of new micro space probes. However, the increased use of miniaturized equipment corresponds to a decreased availability to carry radiation shielding against the space radiation environment. It is well documented that silicon micron and sub-micron electronics based on diffusive transport through a channel are degraded or ...

Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are very sensitive photo-detectors that experienced a big development in the last years several applications, like LIDAR, astrophysics, medical imaging and high energy physics (HEP) experiments. In HEP experiments, particular, they often exposed to significant radiation doses. The main purpose of this manuscript is characterization FBK SiPM technologies when 74 ...

The radiation environment encountered by astronauts during spaceflight is far more complex than any radiation field existed on Earth. Space crew living and working in the International Space Station (ISS) are exposed to a mixed radiation field comprises primary high-energy cosmic rays, including energetic protons and heavy ions, and to secondary radiations, including energetic neutrons, produce...
