The radiation field in and around Hadron collider detectors

The origin and composition of the intense radiation field to be expected in parts of the detector systems for the coming generation of multi-TeV proton-proton colliders are described. Energy spectra and flux levels of the different radiation components are given, based on Monte-Carlo computer simula...

Description
Summary:The origin and composition of the intense radiation field to be expected in parts of the detector systems for the coming generation of multi-TeV proton-proton colliders are described. Energy spectra and flux levels of the different radiation components are given, based on Monte-Carlo computer simulations of the high-energy p-p collisions and of the development of the cascades generated in the detector. Evidence is presented for the experimental justification of these cascade simulations. The effect of detector design on the expected flux levels is demonstrated.< >
