Abstract :
A new quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam facility has been constructed at The Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala, Sweden. The new facility has been designed specifically to provide optimal conditions for testing of single-event effects in electronics. Key features include a neutron energy range of 20 to 175 MeV, high fluxes, user flux control, flexible neutron field size and shape, and spacious and easily accessible user area. Results of beam characterization measurements are reported.
