Title: Radiation shielding issues for MuCool test area at Fermilab

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/15017208· OSTI ID:15017208

The MuCool Test Area (MTA) is an intense primary beam facility derived directly from the Fermilab Linac to test heat deposition and other technical concerns associated with the liquid hydrogen targets being developed for cooling intense muon beams. In this study the origin of the outgoing collimated neutron beam is examined. An alternative shielding option for MTA is investigated as well as the hypothetical worst case of experimental setup is considered.
