Radiation Protection Study for the Shielding Design of the Linac4 Beam Dump at Cern
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The aim of this study is to determine an optimal shielding of the LINAC4 beam dump fulfilling the radiation protection requirements. Therefore a detailed Monte-Carlo calculation using FLUKA particle transport and interaction code has been performed and the relevant physics quantities, such as particle fluences, neutron energy spectra, residual and prompt dose rates, air and water activation have been evaluated for different LINAC4 operation phases.

Linac4 is the near future 160 MeV H- linear accelerator of the CERN presently under construction. It will replace the present Linac2 as injector of the proton accelerator complex in CERN. The Linac4 is composed of a 45 keV ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a 352.2 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), which accelerates the beam to 3 MeV, and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT), ...

This paper discusses the potential radiation hazard caused by beam losses in one of the transfer lines (TT2) of the CERN Proton Synchrotron, close to the point where the beam is split and can be directed towards the Super Proton Synchrotron via the TT10 tunnel, sent to the n_TOF experiment installed in the extension of TT2 (TT2A tunnel), or stopped in a massive dump. The TT2 area is separated f...

Background: Lead-based radiation shields are widely used in radiology departments to protect both workers and patients from any unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation. Recently there has been a great deal of concern expressed about the toxicity of lead. Human lead toxicity is well documented. In that light, production of environmentally-friendly lead-free radiation shields with less weight ...
