In addition to data from radiation monitors, FLUKA simulations are a critical tool to predict the radiation levels on electronic equipment at the LHC and in other CERN accelerators, transfer lines, and facilities. This talk presents an overview of the most relevant results, focusing on the HL-LHC radiation level specifications recently included in a comprehensive document.
An overview of the Radiation Working Group (RadWG) mandate, activities and projects fulfilled by the BE-CEM-EPR section will be presented. The qualification protocol, guidelines and documents from component to system-level will be discussed as well as the different radiation facilities that can be used for this purpose.
The Radiation to Materials initiative at CERN has the following goals: coordinate irradiation tests of non-metallic materials in external facilities and provide internal support to select radiation resistant components for use in high radiation areas. Future plans include experimental studies to improve the understanding of radiation damage mechanisms.
The Distributed Optical Fibre Radiation Sensors are systems recently deployed in the accelerator complex (PSB and PS during Run 2, and SPS and parts of LHC, during LS2).
With such systems, we monitor the distributed radiation levels in the accelerators with a ~1m spatial resolution, hence providing critical inputs to the Monitoring & Calculation Working Group. In this presentation, we will...
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. The HLD activities, previously performed by the Radiation Protection group, are in process of transfer to the R2E project. The monitoring of the accumulated dose can be carried out with...
