   Abstract : At European Spallation Source ERIC, 2 GeV proton bunches will be accelerated towards a tungsten target where spallation will occur, producing a wide neutron energy spectrum. Despite the shielding and moderators in place to stop and/or reduce their energy, a significant portion of the most energetic neutrons, called prompt neutrons, might still reach the sample position of a neutron-scattering instrument.

3. 2. Monte Carlo simulations and measurements of the radiation environment at a laser-plasma accelerator

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Jack Strand Berg; [2016]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In current experiments at the high-power laser facility at the Lund Laser Centre, electrons accelerated to hundreds of MeV over short distances by means of laser wakefield acceleration in produced plasmas. To determine the amount of secondary radiation generated when accelerated electrons interact with surrounding materials is of interest to ensure a safe working environment. READ MORE
