“…The proton-proton collisions in an interaction region in the SSC produce hadrons that may interact in the side walls and roof surrounding the interaction point. The isodose curves from the interaction of these hadrons in soil of density 2.24 g ~r n -~ as calculated with CASIM [26] are shown in Fig. 7.…”

“…The scrapers consist of stops placed very close to the beam and of sufficient length effectively to remove the unwanted protons from the periphery of the beam. For the purposes of shielding the scrapers can be modeled by the CASIM simulations [26] for the loss of protons in the beam pipe of a continuous dipole. Figures 9, 10, and 11 show the isodose contours for loss on the inside, in the middle, and on the outside of the beam pipe, respectively, where inside and outside refer to locations toward and away from the center of the accelerator.…”

Muons are leptons that have a rest mass of 105.7 MeV and a mean lifetime of 2.2 · 10 À6 s. They have a relatively large rest mass relative to that of the electron (0.511 MeV), and to first order these particles do not participate in the strong interaction. Muons can penetrate long distances into matter and are less susceptible to radiative effects compared to electrons. Over a broad energy range, the dominant energy loss mechanism is that of ionization. This makes the shielding of muons and the knowledge of their range considerably important at high-energy accelerators and in other high-energy applications. Muon radiation becomes more important as the accelerator energy increases.
