Muon fluence measurements at 800 GeV

Muon fluence (muons-cm/sup -2/) was measured downstream of enclosure PW8 at three locations along the extension of the PW beamline during the 1984 800-GeV accelerator run. The main goal of these measurements was to determine muon dose-equivalent at various Fermilab locations, and to obtain an estimate of the yearly off-site radiation exposure to the general population due to accelerator-produced muons. The contribution from the PW beamline was investigated because the targeted primary proton beam intensity was consistently higher than for other beamlines. More extensive but similar measurements have been reported by Cossairt for 350 and 400 GeV operation.
