====== FLUKA Simulations ======

In collaboration with Sanja Damjanovic from DGS/RP-department at CERN\\
we will address important issues of radiation protection and the\\
appropriate shielding of BD-components.

General tasks of this project are:

  * verify, if planned sensors are applicable at given installation locations
  * define and optimize radiation shields for optical diagnostic equipment
  * check the concept of SIS100 niches to protect tunnel electronics
  * estimate the particle flux at locations in SIS100 and HEBT to qualify foreseen beam-loss monitors
  * sequential work on projects 1-3 is proposed to pin down radiation requirements for BD-equipment

\\

==== Project 1: Shielding optimization for BIF-Monitors ====

  * **Goals:**
    - Estimate the particle flux/species at BIF locations
    - Qualify different shielding scenarios (e.g. sandwich materials)
  * FLUKA input files (geometry) and preliminary simulations available
  * Simulation results will be compared to GSI-HEBT data
  * Important input for final beam diagnostic layout / selection of detector setup
