Recoil-nucleus spectra in the interaction of cosmic-ray protons with spacecraft electronics
Abstract
The cross sections for nuclear reactions induced by 50-to 1000-MeV protons in silicon and the angular distributions of products of these reactions are calculated, along with the recoil-nucleus spectra. The recoil-nucleus spectra are shown to contain a monotonically decreasing portion and a recoil peak, which is manifested most clearly at incident-proton energies in excess of 100 MeV. The possibility of employing these results to derive more reliable estimates of single-event upsets in onboard spacecraft electronics is discussed.
