Single Event Effects (SEE) Facility

The Space Science Applications Laboratory's third-generation test facility became operational in September, 1996, in Cave 4B at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory's 88-inch cyclotron . The test facility includes:

• A large vacuum chamber with enough volume to hold large complex electronics.
  
  
• A 4-axis motion system for positioning the test device quickly and accurately in the particle beam.
  
  
• A beam diagnostics system for monitoring the purity and intensity of the beam.
  
  
• Sophisticated control software that makes testing an easy automated process.
