Possibility of Total Ionizing Dose Effects measurements for LHC experiments elements in a medical facility: the TIFPA-INFN experience

Total Ionizing Dose (TID) Effects tests are mandatory requirements not only for solid state particle sensors development but also for electronic elements and control systems progress in all the LHC detectors. Both present and future upgraded elements have to satisfy predefined validation procedure generally performed in irradiation facilities. Now-days these tests and studies can be performed not only in facilities explicitly built for this mission, but with some wisdom, also in medical or biological research facilities when some minima requirements are satisfied. In this article will be shown the planification and realization of SiPM x-ray irradiations for TID studies and characterization realized in the Italian TIFPA-INFN Trento Center laboratory, using instruments originally realized for medical or biological irradiations. In detail will be described the minimum flexibility required by the x-ray irradiation set-up and by the dose measurement system in order to perform this double task and finally the irradiation planification and realization.
