We develop metrics for assessing effectiveness of proton SEE data for bounding heavy-ion SEE susceptibility. The simplest metric is just the areal coverage for the test, which can be expressed as the area on the test part which is struck on average by a single ion. This simple quantity can yield important insights into the efficacy of a given SEE test. We also develop methods for bounding heavy-ion SEE rates with proton data for both nondestructive and destructive SEE modes and for identifying the SEE response characteristics that render such bounding methods ineffective.

评估质子 SEE 测试和其他混合环境对重离子 SEE 敏感性的限制

我们开发了用于评估质子 SEE 数据对限制重离子 SEE 敏感性的有效性的指标。最简单的指标就是测试的覆盖面积，它可以表示为测试部件上被单个离子平均撞击的面积。这个简单的数量可以对给定的 SEE 测试的功效产生重要的见解。我们还开发了用非破坏性和破坏性 SEE 模式的质子数据限制重离子 SEE 速率的方法，以及识别使这种限制方法无效的 SEE 响应特征。
