Abstract-The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is a novel machine configuration which will rely on a number of key innovative technologies to enhance the performance of the present LHC machine as of 2025. The upgrade will also involve increased radiation levels which need to be predicted by combining scaled measurements and calculations in order to define the qualification requirements for electronic systems. In this work we describe such levels first of all by introducing the monitoring and calculation approaches used for the present LHC machine, and secondly by applying scaling factors and dedicated simulations for the future HL-LHC accelerators. We present the levels according to the different areas relevant for the operation of electronics-based equipment, and discuss the associated Radiation Hardness Assurance implications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
