چکیده
At the Advanced Photon Source (APS) concern for radiation-induced demagnetization of the insertion devices (IDs) in the storage ring and in the free-electron laser has initiated systematic radiation effects studies towards the development of efficient techniques for ID protection. The studies include radiation dose monitoring, parametric study of the radiation-induced demagnetization, as well as, potentially, a dedicated radiation effects testbed at the APS providing GeV electron beams. Such studies could also be directly applicable to future generation facilities, such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Results and discussion of the radiation damage studies at APS are presented. PACS codes: 42.88, 41.85.L, 75.50.W

Assessment of the effects of radiation type and energy on the calibration of TLD-100
Introduction: In radiation therapy, knowing the dose rates to healthy organs and tumors is beneficial, and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) allows for this possibility. This study was aimed at determining the dose-response differences of TLDs in various types of radiation, energy levels, and dose rate calibrated with other types of radiation beams and energy and dose levels. Materials and Meth...
متن کاملHigh Brilliance and High Pressure: A New Diamond Anvil Cell Facility at the Advanced Photon Source
High energy and high brilliance make the Advanced Photon Source (APS) an ideal tool for high pressure studies. In this paper, we describe the diamond anvil cell (DAC) facility that is being developed for the APS by the GeoSoilEnviroCARS group of the Consortium for Advanced Radiation Sources (CARS). The DAC program aims at studying properties of materials across the entire pressure-temperature s...
