    LHC Seminar

    Radiation tolerance assurance of LHC machine electronics

    by Thijs Wijnands (SL Division)

    → Europe/Zurich
    LHC Auditorium (CERN)

    LHC Auditorium

    CERN
    Description
    A substantial amount of electronics equipment will be installed in the LHC tunnel and underground areas. Some of the equipment will be subject to radiation from beam losses. For several years electronics has been qualified in radiation test facilities. In the presentation the basic mechanisms for radiation damage on electronics will be explained (TID, NIEL and SEE). Some recent experimental results from the TCC2 radiation area of the SPS, from PSI and from Louvain will be given. The relevance of such tests to the operation of the equipment in the LHC will be discussed (radiation levels, safety factors, test methods and test facilities).
