The High Intensity ECN3 (HI-ECN3) facility in CERN’s SPS North Area has been proposed. It shall be housed in the ECN3 underground cavern and offer unique opportunities in terms of intensity, energy and infrastructure for a potential high-impact particle physics programme. It’s initial Technical Design Report (TDR) phase of the beam delivery and facility study has recently been approved....
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) project is in the last phase of accelerator and target equipment installation. Its goal is to double the proton beam power of the SNS accelerator facility from 1.4 to 2.8 MW in preparation for providing a 700 kW/15 Hz beam to a second target station. The SNS target station will receive a power upgrade from 1.4 to 2 MW beam power,...
The Swiss Light Source (SLS) has been in operation since 2001. Renovations are now ongoing for a major upgrade project, named SLS 2.0.
Key changes for the SLS 2.0 are the increase of the electron beam energy from 2.4 GeV to 2.7 GeV and a significant reduction of the beam emittance. In addition to this, the new lattice foresees the presence of two sets of collimators and of a dedicated beam...
The 4th generation storage ring (4th GSR) facility has been planned and launched in Korea since July 2021. Storage ring circumference is 799.297 m and is composed of 28 symmetrical cells with a beam emittance of 62 pm.rad. The stored electron energy and current are 4 GeV and 400 mA, respectively. The facility includes a 200-MeV linac, a booster ring, and a storage ring (SR). Both SR and...
This work details some of the latest radiological studies performed at NSLS-II using the Monte Carlo particle transport code FLUKA.
In particular, it describes the radiation protection challenges posed by the anticipated NSLS-II facility upgrade, evaluating a selection of the various scenarios currently under consideration.
Also, it assesses the impact related to the eventual adoption of...
Since 1960, Bonner Spheres (BS) admirably served as operational neutron spectrometers with wide energy interval in a variety of fields, from industry to medicine and research. They respond up to GeV energies, their operation is simple and their accuracy is well established. Nevertheless, they are cumbersome and very time consuming. In the last decade an INFN-based international collaboration...
Tetra-Ball is a spherical single-moderator neutron spectrometer (SMNS) under development at INFN. As others SMNSs previously developed within INFN-based projects, it is equipped with active internal detectors and condenses the functionality of a Bonner sphere spectrometer, but it requires only one exposure to extract the spectrometric information fro thermal to GeV neutrons. Compared to its...
The Calliope gamma irradiation facility (ENEA Casaccia Research Center) is a pool-type facility, equipped with $^{60}$Co gamma source in a large volume (7x6x3.9 m$^{3}$) shielded cell, involved in several research fields. At Calliope facility, several dosimetric systems such as Fricke solution, alanine-ESR, Red Perspex, radiochromic, Thermo Luminescent Dosimetry (TLD) and electronic RADFET are...
POSITHOT is a French startup issued from the fundamental physics institute of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), which offers materials analysis using positron annihilation spectrometry. This technique of defect detection reaches the sensitivity level of a metrology, to the contrary of existing Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) solutions. The POSITHOT technology offers the capacity to...
The HEPS project is the first high-energy synchrotron radiation light source in China, comprising a 74-meter-long Linac (with a beam energy of 500 MeV), a 453-meter circumference Booster (with a maximum beam energy of 6 GeV), a 1360-meter Storage Ring (also with a beam energy of 6 GeV), and 17 beamlines in the phase I.
The radiation protection group in IHEP is in charge of the radiation...
The China initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS) is currently under construction at Huizhou, China, which represents a key capability in Accelerator-Driven System (ADS) R&D. The CiADS is composed of a high energy superconducting proton accelerator (Linac), a Lead-Bismuth target and a subcritical reactor. The driven Linac is the central component of the CiADS. It will accelerate protons...
