“…In the early days the CERN-LBL-RHEL shielding experiment at the CERN PS [16] provided experimental data which confirmed the similarity of the cosmic ray and of accelerator radiation field. Later radiation study groups were formed for other major projects like the SPS, LEP and the LHC, which included experts from other accelerator laboratories around the world.…”

“…Whereas with protons the experimental areas could only receive secondary beams with intensity much lower than the SPS beam, the primary deuteron beam of non-negligible intensity could instead be channelled to the experimental area. The same problem later showed up with ions with the same Z/A, such as 12 C and 16 O. With lead ion beams, despite their much lower intensity as compared to the proton beams, one has to consider that the production of secondary particles is roughly proportional to the projectile mass number.…”

“…A second shielding experiment at the PS took place in 1966 in collaboration between CERN, the University of California Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley and Rutherford lab, the results of which were summarised in a 360-page report [16]. Activation detectors, proportional counters, emulsions, thermoluminescent dosimeters and an air ionization chamber were used to study the composition, intensity, and energy spectrum of the radiation field, and the attenuation in the earth shield.…”

This paper provides an historical overview of accelerator shielding of accelerator shielding studies at CERN. CERN accelerators and the related shielding problems span 50 years of history and cover all major aspects which can be encountered in accelerator radiation protection. Namely: various accelerated particles (electrons, positrons, protons, antiprotons, heavy ions), a wide range of energies, from a few MeV/u of the present ion injector linac to the 7 TeV of the Large Hadron Collider now coming into operation, several types of primary and secondary beams (including pions, muons and neutrinos), beam intensities, and type of accelerators, from the 600 MeV synchrocyclotron of the mid-fifties to proton and ion linacs, synchrotrons providing extracted beams for fixed-target physics (the PS booster, the PS and the SPS), an electron-positron collider (LEP), proton-proton colliders (the ISR and the LHC) as well as a proton synchrotron converted into a collider (the SPS in the mid-eighties).
