Abstract :
The paper discusses the pilot studies of the experimental research on ICs SEE hardness under proton irradiation at the compact proton accelerator complex which was built by JSC "PROTOM", the medical center in Protvino (Moscow Region, Russia). The capacity and main technical characteristics, especially the operational energy range change from 60 up to 330 MeV, ensure the effective usage of the accelerator during IC radiation tests. The experimental data is in good agreement with the models and results of the tests at the other proton accelerators [1, 2].
