Building a new positron beamline in the HRRL cell might require moving the linac itself. R adiation levels were measured on Feb 4, 2009 by M. Balzer and G. Stancari to determine the impact of repositioning the HRRL RF cavity in the accelerator room.

The HRRL was used to accelerate electrons to a 15 MeV beam energy, 20 mA peak current, 1 kHz repetition rate, and 30 ns pulse width. Five OSL dosimeters (For Details on OSL dosimeter, look [[1]]) were placed at each of 15 locations within the cell identified in the sketch below.

Readings in mrad are reported in the following table. They were taken before exposure (first column) and after a couple of minutes of machine tuning (second column). Readings in the third column were taken 94 minutes after the second reading. During these 94 minutes, the machine was running with the settings mentioned above.

Dose rates in mrad/hr at each of the 15 locations can be estimated by subtracting column 2 from column 3, averaging over the 5 dosimeters, and multiplying the result by (60 min/hr) / (94 min). RMS spreads refer to variations within each group of 5.

# OSL dosimeters

Dosimeters are placed approximately 1-m off the floor. Large face of the dosimeters were facing HRRL.

Diameter of a dosimeter is measured as:

d = 7.4 mm, 7.6 mm, 7.5 mm, 7.3 mm, 7.3 mm, 7.4 mm, 7.6 mm.

so,

d = 7.44 0.13 mm.

# Channel 17 Dose Estimation in New Position

Channel 17 is a dose measuring detector on in the HRRL experimental cell.

## Calculation

Assume that the position 13 at radiation test on Feb 4, 2009 by M. Balzer and G. Stancari will shift to detector position at corner on experiment that is done on 5/17/2010.

Radiation test on Feb 4, 2009 by M. Balzer and G. Stancari used OSL dosimeter.

The area of a OSL dosimeter is:

Experimental Cell Dose Measurement with HRRL on 5/17/2010 used Ludlums Gamma Area Monitor moedl 45-9 for channel 16. Ludlums Gamma Area Monitor moedl 45-9 has dimension: 7.6 x 25.7 cm (3 x 10.1 in.) (Dia x L).

The area of a Ludlums Gamma Area Monitor moedl 45-9 is:

The ratio of detectors detecting area is:

We assume 100% efficiency for both detectors, their detecting are ratio is their dose ratio.

So, for 15 MeV electron beam, at the corner where we had detector of channel 16, if we moved detector to new position, on the detector of Ludlums Gamma Area Monitor moedl 45-9 we would have dose rate of :

Above dose is created by electron beam of energy 15 MeV and 20 mA peak current.

According to the fit for Channel 16 at 16MeV, for 20 mA of peak current the dose should be:

According to the fit for Channel 17 at 10MeV, for 20 mA of peak current the dose should be:

The ratio,at 20 mA of peak current, of Channel 16 at 16MeV to Channel 17 at 10MeV is:

Or, the ratio,at 20 mA of peak current, of Channel 17 at 10MeV to Channel 16 at 16MeV is:

Assume proximately same dose rate for 15 MeV and 16 Mev electron beam, so dose rate channel 17 at 10 MeV electron beam is:

Which lead to Dose rate of channel 17 at 10 MeV electron and 20 mA peak current:

We plan to run another radiation experiment on HRRL. We will place a detector measure dose rate near the corner of wall1, call this position as "Pos_N" (for detector position at HRRL's New Position). We found equivalent position of Pos_A for old position of HRRL, call it "Pos_O" (for detector position at HRRL old Position). So, if we move HRRL from the old position to the new position, Pos_O will overlap with Pos_N.

We want to run radiation tests on both Pos_O and Pos_N with same detector switching around.

When detector is at Pos_N, we will get dose rate at Pos_N () and dose rate at monitor on the wall of experimental side . From this we want to get ratio of two:




When detector is at Pos_O (HRRL is still at old position), we will get the expecting dose rate of detector at Pos_N after moving HRRL to new position. Let's call this dose rate " ".

Then, the dose rate on monitor after moving HRRL to new position will be;




## Run Plan

Parameters that we can play with are:

1) Rep rate (0-1000);

2) Electron Beam Energy (10,15 MeV);

3) Peak current of beam (20-100 mA).

We increase rap rate till we saturate detector, or we hit 900 Hz limit.

We don't have dipole any more, so we don't know exact energy we are operating. But, from previous measurements we know the relation of control voltage to the energy:

Control Voltage= 4.9 V E = 16 MeV

to

4.09 V E = 10 MeV

So, we just have 2 energy options, 10 and 16 MeV.
