EFFECT OF SUPERDEEP PENETRATION (PUNCHING OF OBSTACLES) AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE OPERATION OF ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS
S. M. Usherenko,a G. S. Romanov,b O. A. Dybov,a A. I. Belous,c and S. V. Shvedovc UDC 534.2 Recording of the influence of the flux of high-velocity particles in the regime of superdeep penetration on the operating parameters of microcircuits placed behind a thick-walled obstacle is reported for the first time. It is proposed that this effect is possible in collision of a micrometeorite flux with a spacecraft, which can have an effect on the operation of its computer equipment. aScientific-Research Institute of Pulsed Processes with Pilot Production, Minsk, Belarus; email: impuls@bn.by; bA.
