Outline Simulations Conceptual design: updated detector geometry Evaluation of the residual dose rate Conclusions 5th July, 2017, FCChh Detector meeting
Simulations FLUKA simulation to estimate the residual dose rates Many thanks to I. Besana, EN/STI who provided the geometry and the input file. Geometry and collision parameters remained identical. Adapted the material compositions Trial of two materials for the forward shielding: SS317LN and Brass in order to compare if differences in residual dose rates Dose rates in LS2 (after baseline operation) and LS5 (after ultimate operation) with 6 cooling periods: 8 hours, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 4 months and 1 year. 5th July, 2017, FCChh Detector meeting

Conclusions The residual dose rate was evaluated for the new geometry For these calculations we considered 5 different cooling periods in LS2 and LS5 No significant differences in residual dose rates where found for SS317 or brass as shielding material for short decay times. Possible beneficial for long decay times. High radiation levels in forward region; of concern for work on open detector 5th July, 2017, FCChh Detector meeting
