| Abstract | The main objective of this report is to present a brief overview of the radiation environment that can be expected in areas where electronics is installed in the LHC. This covers particle energy spectra in addition to nominal integrated values of the High Energy Hadron (HEH) fluence, relevant for Single Event Effects (SEEs), Total Ionizing Dose (TID), and the 1 MeV neutron equivalent, relevant for displacement damage. The risk of thermal neutrons is considered by introducing the risk factor Rth. This report is presented as part of the R2E project and should create a foundation from which appropriate irradiation test criteria can be evaluated and determined. |
