Requirement:
The electronics will not degrade the resolution requirements up to a level
of 10
neutrons, 
's or charged particles per cm
per
RHIC year. The lifetime of the detector is set to be 10 years. The noise
level has to be constant at any radiation level up to the level stated
above.
Justification:
This results from calculations performed independently by the RHIC group (Alan Stevens) and the Los Alamos radiation group (Laurie Waters).
Status:
CMOS and bipolar specifications include radiation requirement.
