High-level dosimetric methods (2009)

Schönbacher, Helmut, Fürstner, Markus, Vincke, Helmut

This article gives an overview of selected high-dose dosimetric methods suitable for use in accelerators in research and medicine for reference, transfer and routine dosimetry. This comprises solid...

European Organisation For Nuclear Research (2007)

European Laboratory For, Marco Silari, Helmut Vincke

This note briefly discusses the radiation hazard which may be posed by the neutrino radiation generated in the decay of an intense 50 GeV muon beam circulating in the storage ring of a future...

European Laboratory Forparticle, Luca Bruno, Marco Silari, Helmut Vincke

This note pr ovides a first conceptual design of a dump to absorb the 4MW proton beam emerging from the pion production target of a future CERN Neutrino Factory.

Shielding design for the front end of the CERN SPL (2005)

Magistris, Matteo, Silari, Marco, Vincke, Helmut

CERN is designing a 2.2-GeV Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) with a beam power of 4 MW, to be used for the production of a neutrino superbeam. The SPL front end will initially accelerate 2 × 1014...

Simulation and measurements of the response of an air ionisation chamber exposed to a mixed high-energy radiation field (2005)

Vincke, Helmut, Forkel-Wirth, Doris, Perrin, Daniel, Theis, Chris

CERN's radiation protection group operates a network of simple and robust ionisation chambers that are installed inside CERN's accelerator tunnels. These ionisation chambers are used for the remote...

Benchmarking of the simulation of the ATLAS Hall background (2004)

Vincke, Helmut, Fabjan, Christian Wolfgang, Müller, Hansjörg

The LHC, mainly to be used as a proton-proton collider, providing collisions at energies of 14 TeV, will be operational in the year 2005. ATLAS, one of the LHC experiments, will provide high accuracy...

THE EFFECT OF A BEAM LOSS AT THE PS/N_TOF INTERFACE OF THE CERN PS COMPLEX (2002)

Marco Silari, Helmut Vincke

This paper discusses the potential radiation hazard caused by beam losses in one of the transfer lines (TT2) of the CERN Proton Synchrotron, close to the point where the beam is split and can be...
