  1. NdFeB Radiation Effects and RHIC Tunnel Radiation Levels Summary of some existing papers and Paul Bergh’s “Special Studies” Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  2. Some Papers People have Found NB: the Chen paper cites a dozen others that look interesting but I haven’t downloaded yet! “SNS” paper turned out to just re-use LANL neutron irradiation data Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  3. Room Temperature Plots Temnykh (blocks) Ito et al. (cylinders) 1kGy = 100krad 104Gy = 1000krad Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  4. Interpolated Losses at 10kGy “SH” is high max temperature grade; “Z” is low thermal coefficient grade eRHIC Shin-Etsu quote used N36SH (~$1/cc) N36Z (~$1.30/cc) Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  5. Shin-Etsu N Grade B-H Curves Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  6. What “H” vs “V” Means (Temnykh) H (bad) V (good) Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  7. “Load Lines” – Geometry Matters From Chen et al. Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  8. Irradiation Rate in RHIC Tunnel? • Paul Bergh sometimes leaves TLD badges in the tunnel for ~2 weeks in “Special Studies” • Badges record following in rem or mrem: • “Deep photon” gammas • TLD 8814 neutrons (lower energy band) • Optionally CR-39 neutrons (higher energy band) • Roughly convert to Grays with • Grays = (gamma+(TLD8814+CR39)/5)/100 Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  9. Irradiation Rates in RHIC Tunnel CR-39 saturated Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  10. Total Radiation Dose for eRHIC? • Maximum measured dose rates of 0.2Gy/day • 50Gy per 250 day operational year • 1kGy over 20 operational years of 250 days • If using 1kGy can divide values in previously-shown table by 10 • eRHIC magnets will be everywhere around the ring, but TLD studies data is only at a few points, so be cautious! Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  11. Pragmatic Conclusion for eRHIC • N48 is bad: ~10% flux loss expected • N40 and N32Z are marginal, ~1% loss • N40SH and SmCo both look good, <0.1% loss • This makes one more confident about the cheaper N36SH grade used in eRHIC costing • Ito’s N32Z result is surprisingly bad • Must check where on B-H curve eRHIC magnet designs are in terms of permeance=|B/H| Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  12. Empirical formula/mechanism? • Domain flipping could be caused by localised heating, or some other triggered “tunnelling” phenomenon • Should expect degradation rates of the form k1exp(-k2H) where H is “potential barrier” • Temnykh defines it in terms of “de-magnetising temperature” margin (but why not exp(-kH/T)?) • Could also use DH to demagnetisation on the B-H curve Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  13. From Temnykh Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  14. N42SH-R Thermal Behaviour Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting

  15. Phantom Reference via EEC Stephen Brooks, eRHIC FFAG meeting
