Abstract
RADNEXT is an EU-funded network of irradiation facilities and radiation effects experts aimed at increasing the quantity and quality of user access to accelerator infrastructure, and improving the diversity and harmonization across facilities. Along with the beam provision to worldwide radiation effects users, RADNEXT has an ambitious research program oriented at improving radiation effects testing, of which an example of a heavy ion facility inter-comparison at very different energy regimes is included in this work. In particular, energy deposition distributions in a silicon solid-state detector and the Single Event Upset (SEU) and Multiple Cell Upset (MCU) behaviour are compared amongst heavy ion beams of similar LET, but very different energies (i.e., from the more classical ~10 MeV/u regime up to several hundreds of MeV/u).
