Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
Radiation effects induced by energetic particles in electronic and photonic components and systems are a critical concern for space,
avionics, high-energy physics, nuclear energy, IT infrastructure and many other mission-critical applications. RADNEXT 2030 builds
on the success of the H2020 RADNEXT project (https://radnext.web.cern.ch/) to establish a sustainable, transnational, and inter-
disciplinary radiation testing and research infrastructure supporting both scientific excellence and industrial competitiveness in Europe.
The RADNEXT 2030 consortium brings together over 40 institutions from across Europe and beyond, including research laboratories,
universities, space and nuclear agencies, and industrial stakeholders. It integrates more than 30 world-class irradiation facilities, covering
heavy ions, protons, neutrons, and other beam types, along with digital tools, training resources, and best practices to support advanced
radiation effects testing and qualification. RADNEXT 2030’s main objectives are to (i) coordinate and provide high-quality transnational
access to radiation facilities, (ii) foster harmonization, innovation, and sustainability in radiation effects testing, (iii) support European
users and SMEs through training and tailored assistance, and (iv) position Europe as a global leader in radiation effects research and
qualification. RADNEXT 2030 will be crucial for CERN in two complementary ways. Firstly, it will enable access to CERN radiation
effects researchers across multiple groups, departments and sectors to world-class radiation effects testing facilities. In fact, CERN has
been the number one RADNEXT user, with more than 20 experiments completed. Secondly, the project will provide the necessary
framework for radiation effects research access to CHARM and HEARTS@CERN, partially funded by the EU.
Attività svolta da ENEA
RADNEXT 2030 punta a consolidare e ampliare la capacità europea nei test sugli effetti delle radiazioni,
rispondendo alle sfide evidenziate nel rapporto Draghi sulla competitività europea, in particolare alla
necessità di ridurre le dipendenze strategiche in settori chiave come aerospazio, semiconduttori ed elettronica
avanzata. Il progetto contribuisce così a rafforzare la sovranità tecnologica e la resilienza dell’Europa in un
contesto geopolitico ed economico sempre più frammentato.
Il progetto è articolato in 11 Work Packages (WP) la cui lista è riportata a pag. 7 dell’Annex 1 del GA allegato
alla presente.
In particolare, l’ENEA sarà coinvolta in 5 di questi work package elencati di seguito:
• WP3: Applied research
• WP7: SEE testing with protons
• WP8: SEE testing with neutrons
• WP9: Cumulative effects: TID and TNID testing
• WP10: Dosimetry, Radiation Monitors and Environment Characterization
