M.Moll, M.Silari, H.Vincke – 3.April 2008 -1- Mixed field irradiation -- Who answered ? In total 36 forms filled / 34 persons answered: 38% 62% CERN: mainly LHC related topics CERF: beside LHC topics also dosimetry topics for accelerators, aircraft and space applications
2
Beam parameters required Preferred momentum of primary beam: 20 % 450 GeV/c ( 1 strong preference) 20 % 24 GeV/c ( 1 strong preference) 60% no preferences Fast or slow extraction: 69 % slow extraction Out of which 33% would also use pulsed fields 11% require both 3% pulsed extraction only 17% no preferences M.Moll, M.Silari, H.Vincke – 3.April 2008 -2-
3
Radiation field conditions required (I) Field type required: Neutron field perpendicular to target: 83% Field at different angles behind shielding: 42% High dose radiation fields: 33% Muon field: 14% Others 14% (e.g.: TOF neutrons, high energy mono energetic neutrons) M.Moll, M.Silari, H.Vincke – 3.April 2008 -3- Higher percentage than 100 % due to possibility of multiple choice Comments: LHC like environment was desired very often as source field
4
Radiation field conditions required (II) Maximum integrated dose / neutron fluence required: 1E7 Gy /1E16 n/cm 2 Maximum dose and fluence rates 10 Gy/s / 1E11 n/(cm 2 s) Comments: concerning the fluence additional information was asked by the users (1 MeV equivalent neutrons, hadrons > 20 MeV, detailed spectra) M.Moll, M.Silari, H.Vincke – 3.April 2008 -4-
5
Type and purpose of tests Type of equipment 44% Detector and detector components 33% Radiation monitors and dosemeters 11% Material tests 6% Accelerator components Type of test 37% Detector and equipment tests 33%Dosemeter calibrations 25%Radiation hardness test Comments: many LHC detector components and neutron dosimetry devices are tested for calibration, response or hardness M.Moll, M.Silari, H.Vincke – 3.April 2008 -5-
6
Other requirements (I) Size and weight smaller1m and 25 kg:97% Size of field: Smaller than 25 cm x 25 cm72% Smaller than 1 m x 1 m25% M.Moll, M.Silari, H.Vincke – 3.April 2008 -6-
7
Other requirements (II) Infrastructure available (top five) Electricity (81%) Read out connections (61%) Beam extraction signal (53%) Preparation (42%) and storage areas (31%) Others: Temperature controlled environment, non flammable gases … Scanning system for beam (27%; not possible since field comes from target!!) Infrastructure provided by user 64% would need temporary infrastructure (mainly electronics and detectors used for the experiment) 33% don’t need additional infrastructure M.Moll, M.Silari, H.Vincke – 3.April 2008 -7-
8
Beam time requirements Annual beam times One day:6% Less than 1 week: 44% 1 – 2 weeks:17% 2 – 3 weeks:14% 3 – 4 weeks:6% Up to 2 month:8% Longer:5% Comment: required beam time depends very often on dose/fluence rate available Required periods One or two periods: 75% More periods: 14% M.Moll, M.Silari, H.Vincke – 3.April 2008 -8-
