Radiological assessment of the Tungsten Powder Test (HRM10) at HiRadMat

Granular solid targets made of fluidised tungsten powder have been long proposed and are being studied as an alternative configuration towards high-power (>1MW beam power) target systems, suitable for a future Super Beam facility or Neutrino Factory. A fea ...

Characterization of Extended Range Bonner Sphere Spctrometers in the CERF high-energy broad neutron field at CERN

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Angelo Esposito, Marco Silari

The accurate determination of the ambient dose equivalent in the mixed neutron-photon fields encountered around high-energy particle accelerators still represents a challenging task. The main complexity arises from the extreme variability of the neutron en ...

Experimental proposal Test of radiation protection instrumentation in HiRadMat

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Marco Silari

The knowledge of the response of radiation protection detectors in pulsed fields is very important, since this is a typical condition often encountered with stray radiation fields around particle accelerators at CERN and elsewhere. This document presents a ...

Experimental study and FLUKA simulations of a prototype micromegas chamber in a mixed neutron and photon radiation field

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Francesco Cerutti

Detectors based on the micromegas principle have already been used in several atomic, nuclear and particle physics experiments. They have also been proposed as one of the options to upgrade the ATLAS muon spectrometer in the very forward/backward region. T ...

Test run for the HRMT-15 (RPINST) experiment

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Marco Silari

The present document discusses the results of the measurements carried out during the test run performed before the main beam time of the HRMT-15 (RPINST) experiment in the HiRadMat facility, which is planned for October 2012. A prototype detector, specifi ...

Radiological assessment of the Collimator Materials tests at HiRadMat in 2012

Nikolaos Charitonidis

A test for several collimator materials is planned to be performed in the HiRadMat facility of CERN/SPS. Before these samples can be brought to a surface laboratory for analysis after the irradiation, a certain cool-down period has to be respected in order ...

Feasibility Experiment Of Granular Target Options for Future Neutrino Facilities

Leonid Rivkin, Nikolaos Charitonidis

Fragmented solid targets made of either fluidised tungsten powder or static pebble bed of tungsten spheres, have been long proposed and are being studied as an alternative configuration towards high-power (>1 MW of beam power) target systems, suitable for ...
