In order to have an accurate and continuous monitoring of beam parameters we have developed fully automatic dosimetry setup to be used during SEE (with heavy ions) and DD (with protons up to 60 MeV) tests of electronic devices and systems. The final goal of our activity is to demonstrate that the operation of such a system in air is not detrimental to the accuracy on controlling the beam profile, energy and fluence delivered onto the DUT (Device Under Test) surface, even with non relativistic heavy ions. We have tested our beam monitoring system with the Reference SEU monitor developed by ESA/ESTEC The results are discussed here. © 2009 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDosimetryHeavy Ion AcceleratorsRadiation EffectsRadiation TestsConference Object10.1109/RADECS.2009.5994693574207420782-s2.0-80052754054N/A
