TL;DR: The state of the art regarding the knowledge of radiation effects on the performance of fiber-based technologies, from the microscopic effects observed in the amorphous silica glass used to design fiber cores and cladding, to the macroscopic response of fibers and systems are described.

TL;DR: The goal of this work is to provide an understanding of the technical choices made, the constraints that were imposed, and ultimately the validated performance of the flight model as it leaves Earth, and it will serve as the foundation for Mars operations and future processing of the data.

TL;DR: A mixed field radiation test facility called CHARM has been established at CERN as mentioned in this paper to test electronic devices/systems in representative environments, which is not only representative of particle accelerators, but also of atmospheric, ground level and space applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the architecture of the new RadMon, the radiation reliability and the design strategy adopted for the sensors, used for monitoring the mixed radiation field of the LHC accelerator, are described highlighting the achieved improvements in terms of radiation robustness and measurement accuracy of a device which is of interest for many other research institutes.
