Experimental setup for Single Event Effects at the São Paulo 8UD Pelletron Accelerator

In this work we present an experimental setup mounted in one of the beam lines at the Sao Paulo 8UD Pelletron Accelerator in order to study Single Event Effects in electronic devices. The basic idea is to use elastic scattering collisions to achieve a low-flux with a high-uniformity ion beam to irradiate several devices. 12 C, 16 O, 28 Si, 35 Cl and 63 Cu beams were used to test the experimental setup. In this system it is possible to use efficiently LET values of 17 MeV/mg/cm 2 for an external beam arrangement and up to 32 MeV/mg/cm 2 for in-vacuum irradiation.
