| GB-RADNEXT 2024: Unveiling the Future of Radiation Hardness Testing, both from a facility and user perspective |
Exciting news awaits as we extend a warm invitation to the upcoming GB-RADNEXT 2024 workshop on 12 and 13 June at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Harwell, UK. This year's theme, 'Future Facilities - Future Perspectives', promises to deliver cutting-edge insights into radiation hardness testing of electronic devices. The GB-RADNEXT workshop is an event dedicated to industry. Dive into two days of discussions, networking opportunities with stakeholders from irradiation facilities, space agencies, universities and of course industry experts, and access to invaluable resources.
Key Details:
• Date: 12 and 13 June 2024
• In-person event
• Location: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell, UK
• Fee: Attendance is free of charge
• Registration is open: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1353707/
We gathered 25+ renowned speakers in the field, with a focus on facility representatives and their industrial user. This in-person event is not only an opportunity to explore the current and future challenges in the field of radiation hardness testing but opens the floor for direct engagement. At the end of each of our seven sessions, we dedicated 15 extra minutes for an open discussion-forum with our audience. In addition, we offer a site visit at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, including the ChipIr facility. Last but not least, the social dinner provides lots of opportunities for networking in a special, ambient environment.
The best part: attendance is absolutely free! Whether you're involved in radiation testing services, semiconductor radiation effects, or standardizing testing methods, GB-RADNEXT 2024 is tailored for you.
Join us in shaping the future of radiation effects community! Your presence will undoubtedly contribute to the success of GB-RADNEXT 2024.

| For RADNEXT project members only |
|
The 3rd RADNEXT Annual Meeting will take place in a hybrid format on 10 and 11 June 2024. At the annual meeting, we will bring together the 31 beneficiaries and numerous associated partners to discuss the scientific and technical achievements since our previous Annual Meeting in May 2023 (Seville), as well as the plans for the fourth year of the project.
The Annual Meeting will be held at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Harwell near Oxford, UK. A Zoom link will also be provided for remote participation. We hope to see many of you there! More info on the programme, registration and accommodation is now available. |

| Survey on commercial components of interest |
|
Within RADNEXT WP2, we are continuously working on a list of potentially interesting commercial components, which is due at the end of the project. In order to gather some data, we have created a short survey to see which components you would like to see tested, which radiation tests you would like to execute etc. The survey only takes a couple of minutes and can be found here: RADNEXT - List of commercial components of interest.xlsx
Feel free to fill it out more than once if you have multiple components you would like to see tested. If you’ve already submitted components of interest in the TA proposals, you do not have to add them here again as they will already be processed in the final milestone report.
In case of any questions or unclarity, please contact Paul Leroux or Hanne Stas.
Thank you very much for your help! Your input is much appreciated and will really help us in gathering the necessary data. |

| RADNEXT research in the spotlight: Comparison of High Energy X-ray and Cobalt 60 irradiations on MOS capacitors |
 |
Check out the latest breakthrough from RADNEXT members, now featured in IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science!
This study by Vincent Girones and co-authors provides a comprehensive comparison between high-energy X-ray and Cobalt 60 irradiation campaigns of MOS capacitors.
For the investigated components, the high-energy X-rays irradiation using a lead filter induced the same degradation observed when exposed to Cobalt 60 gamma rays. Moreover, the effects of post-irradiation annealing and the presence of a package lid have been also investigated.

| RADNEXT guidelines for users and authors |
|
Are you a team who has recently tested through the RADNEXT Transnational Access calls? Or are you an author of a publication containing data collected through RADNEXT TA? Please don't forget our RADNEXT guidelines for Users and Authors.
Teams who have tested through RADNEXT are also strongly encouraged to share their results at RADECS 2024 (or other radiation effects conferences). If you've missed the RADECS abstracts deadline, please keep the Late News submissions in mind, which are expected to open in June! |
