Radiation Testing Accessible and Reliable

TAU eSEE

Setting the Standard for Single Event Effects (SEE) Testing

Challenge

You design great electronic devices bound to transform the space industry and you need to test them quickly and reliably.

Solution

Our revolutionary compact test method has independent control of LET and testing depth and alleviates the need for ion accelerators.



Relativistic electron bunches are the preferable alternative to ions

Ultrafast electrons are accelerated to high energies with TAU's compact laser-driven accelerator.

The Linear Energy Transfer (LET) is proportional to the electron bunch charge.

The depth of testing inside the device is proportional to the electron kinetic energy.

features

Beamtime when you need it, no long wait times

TAU eSEE gives you immediate access to beamtime whenever your projects demand it, eliminating the traditionally long waiting times. This rapid availability ensures you can accelerate your testing and innovation processes.

Lower overall costs

TAU eSEE is a cost-effective solution for radiation testing of COTS or bespoke parts by leveraging compact laser-driven electron accelerators. This reduces the need for expensive, large-scale ion accelerators and allows for effective use of resources.

Compact & flexible

TAU eSEE is a compact and flexible platform offering a variety of radiation and particle outputs. It easily integrates into existing infrastructure, and its versatility allows you to run several types of radiation tests. TAU eSEE adapts seamlessly to your requirements.

Beamtime at TAU Labs,
or at your own facility

You can access beamtime at a nearby TAU Labs location or bring the unique TAU eSEE solution to your facility. This flexibility ensures that radiation testing is convenient, reliable, and aligned with your operational needs.
