Radiation and shielding around beam absorbers
Abstract
Radiation levels found in the vicinity of particle accelerators are reviewed. Shielding requirements, radiation under no beam conditions and under operational conditions (gamma, low energy and high energy neutrons), and contributions from various metal components (i.e., copper collimeters) are shown. Tables of radiation susceptibility for selected materials and electronic equipment are provided, as well as some relations concerning dose rates.
