Limitations of the IRPP Approach

This chapter contains sections titled:

• The IRPP and Deep Devices

• The RPP When Two Hits are Required

• The RPP Approaches Neglect Track Size

• The IRPP Calculates Number of Events, not Total Number of Upsets

• The RPP Approaches Neglect Effects that Arise Outside the Sensitive Volume

• The IRPP Approaches Assume that the Effect of Different Particles with the Same LET is Equivalent

• The IRPP Approaches Assume that the LET of the Particle is not Changing in the Sensitive Volume

• The IRPP Approach Assumes that the Charge Collection Does Not Change with Device Orientation

• The Status of Single Event Rate Analysis
