Single Event Effects in Ground Level Infrastructure

目标已在上一节中阐述，并在案例中作了进一步阐述，以供支持。对项目合作伙伴的影响将是更好地了解地面一级的单一事件效应现象和ESW事件的风险。到目前为止，这一专题主要关注静止的背景星系宇宙线环境，对空间天气事件期间的增强关注很少。通过审查这些事件的可能性和潜在影响，该项目将在伙伴组织内部以及在适当的时候提高它们所在的更广泛行业对这一主题的认识。主要结果将是对地面电子系统在ESW事件期间的脆弱性进行风险评估。将计算比率和故障概率，并使用它们来确定需要什么(如果有的话)缓解协议来降低风险。行业合作伙伴将能够使用各种方法降低其系统的脆弱性，包括根据复原力标准改进其电子元件采购，并通过系统设计提高容错性。评估结果还可用来评估现有系统是否需要改装复原力措施，尽管这只是合作伙伴的考虑，项目不会在这方面提出单方面建议。

Objectives are stated in the previous section and are further elaborated in the Case for Support. The impact on project partners will be an improved understanding of the phenomenon of single event effects at ground level and the risk from an ESW event. This topic has hitherto focused on the quiescent background galactic cosmic ray environment, with very little attention paid to enhancements during space weather events. By reviewing the likelihood and potential impact of these events, the project will raise awareness of the topic within the partner organisations and, in due course, within the wider industries in which they operate. The main outcome will be a risk assessment of the vulnerability of ground-level electronic systems to SEE during an ESW event. SEE rates and failure probabilities will be calculated and used to determine what (if any) mitigation protocols are required to reduce the risk. Industry partners will be able to reduce the vulnerability of their systems using a variety of methods, including improving their procurement of electronic components based on resilience criteria and increasing failure tolerance through system design. The results may also be used to evaluate the need for retrofitting resilience measures to existing systems, though this is a consideration for the partners alone and the project will not make unilateral recommendations in this regard.
