Intervention Modelling at High-energy Particle Accelerators

An important aspect in the design and operation of highenergy particle accelerators is the planning of maintenance interventions. In the planning of these interventions, optimizing the exposure of the maintenance workers to ionizing radiation is a core issue. In this context, we have addressed the need for an interactive visual software tool. The intervention planning has been modeled mathemati...

Dosimetry at high-energy accelerators

R É S U M É Les problèmes de la dosimetric dans les champs de rayonnements ionisants diffusés autour des accélérateurs de haute énergie sont présentés. Après une courte introduction sur l'historique des grandeurs physiques utilisées pour l'acquisition de l'équivalent de dose, les techniques diverses pour la dosimétrie dans des champs mixtes à haute énergie sont décrites, en commençant par des m...

Radiation protection at high energy electron accelerators.

An overview is presented of radiation protection at high energy electron accelerator facilities. By 'high energy' is meant the energy domain beyond a few tens of MeV, where electromagnetic showers are the determining and dominant factor for beam interactions with matter. The basic components of electron accelerators are described and their potential impact on radiation safety. The paper then co...

Predicting Induced Radioactivity at High Energy Accelerators

High Energy High Intensity Hadron Beams PLANS FOR THE FUTURE OF PROTON ACCELERATORS AT CERN

The Large Hadron Collider, presently in construction at CERN, will be filled through a set of high performance proton accelerators providing the high brightness beam needed to reach the foreseen luminosity. Although this difficult project has top priority and uses most of the CERN resources, it is nevertheless time investigating improvements of the proton accelerator complex for physical cases ...
