A. Ferrando et al., IRRADIATION OF A VERY FORWARD CALORIMETER IN THE LHC ENVIRONMENT - SOME CONSEQUENCES, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 83(1-2), 1993, pp. 205-213
We have computed the level of irradiation in the very forward region (
pseudorapidity range: 2.5 < Absolute value of eta < 4.7) of an LHC exp
eriment, exemplified by the CMS (compact solenoidal detector for LHC)
case. Information about the induced radioactivity in the absorber of a
proposed iron/gas Very Forward Calorimeter has been extracted.
