The Monitoring and Calculation Working Group (MCWG) is in charge of the characterisation of the radiation environment of the CERN accelerator complex and experimental facilities. This talk will introduce the structure of the working group and its key activities, with emphasis on the work done to address the multiple requests for radiation levels that are coming from different users.

Analysis of the radiation levels measured across CERN accelerator complex is a critical activity within R2E project and MCWG, contributing not only to the equipment groups but also beyond, e.g. to Accelerator Operations. In this talk, an overview of this activity is presented, focusing on the 2021 prompt radiation measurements from the Injector Chain.

In addition to measured data from radiation monitors, FLUKA simulations are a critical tool to asses the radiation levels on electronic equipment at the LHC and in other CERN accelerators, transfer lines, and facilities, especially where no measurement is available and for predictions on future operation.

The main goal of the High-Level Dosimetry (HLD) at CERN is to determine the radiation levels at equipment located in the accelerator complex, hence contributing to the evaluation of their radiation lifetime. In this talk, an introduction to the service and a summary of the activities carried out during 2021 will be presented.

Radiation to electronics failures were observed during 2021 in several locations in the SPS access system, whose electronics is critical for the machine operation. Mitigation measures were adopted through shielding when the relocation was not feasible. BatMon measurements and FLUKA simulations were conducted to assess the radiation environment to advance a mitigation solution.

The Optical Fibre Dosimetry work package of the R2E project focuses on the development, deployment and operation of optical fibre based solutions for the monitoring of the radiation levels in the accelerators. In particular, the Distributed Optical Fibre Radiation Sensors (DOFRS) are systems deployed in the main machines of the accelerator complex (PSB, PS, SPS, and LHC).

The CERN Cobalt-60 (CC60) facility serves different essential purposes in the context of the R2E project, including components screening, system testing, material testing, and R&D on radiation sensors. To face the increasing number of irradiation requests, a new 110 TBq Co-60 source, 17 times more active than the previous source, has been installed.

The R2M coordinates irradiations of non-metallic materials at CERN. Samples of equipment designed for applications in high radiation areas are sent to external facilities for gamma irradiation with 60Co sources. Test results inform design choices and reduce failure risks in operation. In the last year 15 irradiation campaigns have been launched in collaboration with the radiation testing...

We will present the objectives and recent results from the joint research activities within the EU INFRAIA project RADNEXT. This includes recent results on radiation monitors, dosimeters and beam characterization, on the standardization of system level radiation qualification methodology, on cumulative total ionizing dose and displacement damage effects in electronics and finally on tools and...
