Area of Science:

  • Accelerator Physics
  • Radiation Physics

Background:

  • Electron storage rings generate bremsstrahlung radiation, posing potential hazards.
  • Accurate simulation of radiation dose rates is crucial for shielding design and safety protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a computer code for simulating bremsstrahlung dose rate distributions from the CAMD electron storage ring.
  • To quantify electron losses in specific magnets during electron injection.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computer code to model bremsstrahlung radiation.
  • Measurement of dose rate distributions using thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) chips along shield walls.
  • Calibration of the computer code by fitting simulated electron loss parameters to measured dose rate data.

Main Results:

  • Bending magnet No. 1 exhibits the highest electron loss rate (2.7 x 10^10 electrons/minute) during injection.
  • Subsequent magnets show 25-33% of the loss rate of the first magnet.
  • Magnets following a bending magnet lose more electrons than those preceding it.

Conclusions:

  • The developed computer code accurately simulates bremsstrahlung dose rates and quantifies electron losses.
  • The code can predict potential issues like magnet misalignment, enhancing operational safety.
  • This simulation approach is valuable for optimizing shielding and operational parameters in electron storage rings.
