Abstract :
A new irradiation position has been constructed, characterized, and put into operation at the ANITA facility for accelerated testing of components and systems for single event effects. Results of beam characterization measurements are reported. The energy-integrated neutron flux above 10 MeV, amounting to more than 107 cm-2·s-1, is the highest among the facilities with atmospheric-like spectrum. The employed characterization and simulation techniques are generally applicable for neutron irradiation facilities.
