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
