“…Though typically not a dominating effect, displacement damage can also be evaluated using protons and/or 14 MeV neutrons. In addition, the CHARM facility at CERN [23] can also be used for such purpose, provided the representativeness of its radiation field, as well as its very large irradiation volume, enabling the characterization of a broad set of components in parallel.…”

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.

“…15 can be a useful reference in planning new accelerator facility or in the design of new technologies for specific applications, which require low critical charges. Indeed, even if the present work is focused on the simulation side and no experimental measurements have been conducted yet, FLUKA was already validated in the past in similar studies as reported in [21], [24], [31] showing an excellent agreement between simulations and experimental measurements. Table IV shows the ratio, for each data set, of the expected total SEE rate between 0.1 and 1 fC.…”

Abstract. is used in research laboratories all around the world for challenging applications spanning a very wide range of energies, projectiles and targets. FLUKA is also extensively used for in hadrontherapy research studies and clinical planning systems. In this paper some of the recent developments in the FLUKA nuclear physics models of relevance for very different application fields including medical physics are presented. A few examples are shown demonstrating the effectiveness of the upgraded code.
