  • Abstract
    We present geometric models to calculate the rate of multiple node events that can defeat soft error mitigation based on spatial redundancy. One aspect of our model determines the probability of an ion crossing two nodes, while the second part considers two different daughter particles from a neutron or proton collision affecting two nodes.
