Verification of the Prompt Radiation Shielding Design of the ESS Accelerator
- Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), Batavia, IL (United States)
Fermilab will perform prompt radiation and shielding verification studies for the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) accelerator tunnel and existing penetration layouts using the latest information on the beam line and existing models of magnets and cryomodules. The input information about the assumptions, geometry layout, etc. will be provided by the Safety Group (accelerator division, ESS). The MEDT department of the Accelerator Division, Fermilab will provide the results of the studies. MARS15, a Fermilab a multi-purpose Monte-Carlo code developed since 1974, is at the heart of this effort. MARS15 is used for detailed simulation of hadronic and electromagnetic cascades in an arbitrary 3-D geometry of shielding, accelerator, detector and spacecraft components with energy ranging from a fraction of an electronvolt to 100 TeV. This work will provide additional validation of recent additions to the physical models in the code, including the code capabilities to simulate cascades and generate a variety of results in complex media.
