Description
An extensive experience has been gained throughout the last decades in the characterization of the radiation field impacting the magnets of existing and envisaged high-energy particle colliders. Detailed spatial distributions of the dose absorbed by the most exposed coils have been calculated by means of Monte Carlo simulation codes, through the description of the relevant radiation sources and the implementation of the machine model. Maximum values reached over the accelerator operation time could be provided, identifying the nature of the particles contributing the most and determining the effectiveness of different kinds of mitigation measures, aiming at complying with the assumed damage limits.
This contribution will review the present knowledge for the indicated cases, while outlining the methodology applicable to others.
