Description
The impact of particle losses on the operation of the LHC machine and experiments
will be discussed. It will be shown how the risk of radiation induced failure to
equipment can be reduced via shielding, radiation tolerant equipment designs and on-
line radiation monitoring. A number of critical cases for the LHC Machine
Experiments interface will be highlighted. Recent data on beam induced backgrounds
and radiation at CDF (Fermilab) will be shown.
