  2. Outline • Radiation Sources Considered for Calculations • Calculational Tools and Procedures • Bremsstrahlung Source • Design of Front End Safety Shutters • First Optics Enclosure Shielding • Mirror as First Optics Element

  3. Radiation Sources Considered for Calculations • Bremsstrahlung (High Energy Photons) • Bremsstrahlung produced Neutrons • Synchrotron Radiation (ID and BM)

  4. Calculational Tools and Procedures • PHOTON for Synchrotron Radiation (xrays) • STAC8 for Synchrotron Radiation (xrays) • Electron Gamma Shower Program (EGS4) • Photoneutron Dose Measurements

  5. Beamline Shielding Design Shielding Design Specifications • Recommendations based upon maximum allowed design dose criteria (100 mrem/year) • Recommendations based upon 2000 work-hours of exposure per year on contact at the exterior of the Beamline shielding • Conservative beam scattering assumptions

  6. Bremsstrahlung Source (Beam Straight path)

  7. Beamlines (Bremsstrahlung Source) Beam Energy = 3.5 GeV, Beam Current = 500 mA Straight Section Path Length = 16 meters Distance to the Dose Point = 20 meters Vacuum = 1 ntorr

Power in FOE 0.102 w/mrad-H / mA • 382.5 watts (at 500 mA)

  17. First Optics Enclosure Shielding(STAC8 Calculations) • 1 m Al and 10 meter air scatterer are used • Beam incident normally on the scatterer • Self absorption is set to zero • Maximum energy of SR is set to 500 keV • The lateral walls are at 1 m from the scatterer • ICRU Tissue used for dose scoring • Dose is scored at 70 degree angle (maximum) • Polarization of SR is ignored • For mono-beam calculations 5 harmonics are considered • Bandwidths are 0.1%, 0.01%, 0.01%, 0.001%, 0.001% correspondingly
