Radiation and Dose map for the MOLLER experiment
ORAL
Abstract
The MOLLER (Measurement Of a Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction) experiment proposes to measure the parity-violating asymmetry in longitudinally polarized electron-electron (Møller) scattering. With the electrons being accelerated to 11 GeV, this measured asymmetry results in an ultra-precise low energy determination of the weak mixing angle, and constrains the searches of physics beyond the Standard Model. The radiation and radioactivity due to the electron beam interaction with material can cause severe damage to the electronics and considerable harm to the human body, if not appropriately shielded. A simulation of the dose estimation is necessary before the experiment starts, so that appropriate mitigation measures can be incorporated into the experimental design to minimize radiation exposure, to both people and equipment, during the running of the experiment. An excellent tool in radiation protection studies, FLUKA (FLUktuierende KAskade), is used for evaluating the residual radiation. In this talk, I will discuss the radiation and the dose map in the experiment enclosure from the simulation using FLUKA.
