scope:
The purpose of this PAS is to provide a more precise definition of the threat that thermal neutrons pose to avionics as a second mechanism for inducing single event upset (SEU) in microelectronics. There are two main points that will be addressed in this PAS: 1) a detailed evaluation of the existing literature on measurements of the thermal flux inside of airliners and 2) an enhanced compilation of the thermal neutron SEU cross section in currently available SRAM devices (more than 20 different devices).
