“…The effects are monitored through the leakage current. The observed change is in good agreement with the predictions based on test beam measurements with Hamburg/Dortmund model (using FLUKA [1] for conversion of collision luminosity to 1 MeV neutronequivalent fluence and taking into account the self-annealing effects) thus we can expect this excellent performance throughout the expected lifetime of SCT. The increase leakage currents is observed at both 50V StandBy HV and 150V nominal HV.…”

Whereas muon in extensive air shower is an observable sensitive to the primary composition and to the hadron interaction properties, the discrepancy between measured and estimated values has not been solved. Using the new data of forward hadron from an accelerator experiment, a hadron interaction model (QGSJET II-04) is modified. Air shower simulation with the modified interaction model produces more muons. The increased muons concentrate around the shower core and the number density of secondary particle far from core does not change much.

“…The validity of the physical models implemented in FLUKA has been benchmarked against a variety of experimental data over a wide energy range, from accelerator data to cosmic ray showers in the Earth atmosphere. 1,2) FLUKA is widely used for studies related both to basic research and to applications in particle accelerators. For the latter, FLUKA has proven its huge potential to be used for many applications like target design, beam intercepting devices, windows, dumps, detector optimization, dose estimates, radiological treatment planning, shielding design, as well as studies related to radiation damage.…”

The assessment of radiation damage to electronics is a complex process and requires a detailed description of the full particle energy spectra, as well as a clear characterization of the quantities used to predict radiation damage. FLUKA, a multi-purpose particle interaction and transport code, is capable of calculating proton-proton and heavy ion collisions at LHC energies and beyond. It correctly describes the entire hadronic and electromagnetic particle cascade initiated by secondary particles from TeV energies down to thermal neutrons, and provides direct scoring capabilities essential to estimate in detail the possible risk of radiation damage to electronics. This paper presents the FLUKA capabilities for applications related to radiation damage to electronics, providing benchmarking examples and showing the practical applications of FLUKA at CERN facilities such as CNGS and LHC. Related applications range from the study of device effects, the detailed characterization of the radiation field and radiation monitor calibration, to the input requirements for important mitigation studies including shielding, relocation or other options.
