Description

The radiation level in the LHC tunnel during its operation has been estimated sufficiently low to consider installing electronic equipment under the superconducting magnets. A working group named RADWG, mandated by the TCC (Technical Coordination Committee) of the LHC, has studied since 1998, the behaviour of COTS (Components Of The Shelf) electronics and industrial systems in a radiation environment, similar to the one which will exist in the LHC tunnel. During the 2001 campaign some 20 experiments where done. The purpose of this RADWG DAY is to publish the results obtained so far. The qualification of the radiation environment in the TCC2 experimental test area of the SPS and radiation doses expected in the LHC tunnel will be presented. RADWG Members, responsible for these experiments, will present their objective, results and future test plans.
