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.
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 RHA process is meant at ensuring that the qualification process of the CERN electronic equipment is traceable and demonstrates the compliance with respect to the requirements for installation in the accelerator. The status of the related documentation is presented in the context of HL-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.
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...
