A Performance Evaluation of a Notebook PC under a High Dose-Rate Gamma Ray Irradiation Test

Table 1

Performance evaluation results of the notebook PCs under high dose-rate gamma ray irradiation test.
Test samples (notebook PC) Dose rate (Gy/h)Pilot application programTID at simple failure*1TID at irrecoverable failure*2
1 (IWORKS)150RS-232C loopback test program215 Gy312 Gy
2 (SENS P30)150Image acquisition program247 Gy337 Gy
3 (X NOTE)150Image acquisition program235 Gy275 Gy
The menu of the pilot application program disappeared from the LCD screen of the notebook PC under test, but the core function of the pilot application program had been normally operated until the irrecoverable dose; the startup of the notebook PC was unavailable after irrecoverable dose.
