Electron Beam Irradiation Dose rate: 10-25 rad/hour 27-GeV electron beam Average saturated light loss of ~8% after 1-2 Krad Recovery study shows that 85% damage can be recovered in 2 months after irradiation
Pion Beam Irradiation 10-25 rad/hour 40-GeV pion irradiation, average ~12% light loss after ~1-2 krad total dose 30-60 rad/hour 40-GeV pion irradiation, average ~20% light loss after ~2 krad total dose 500 rad/hour by charge hadrons, γ-quanta and neutrons, ~20% light loss after ~2 krad total dose Energy resolution is not noticeably degraded by the radiation damage
Radiation Hardness continue----Super-intensive beam 100 krad/hour 40-GeV pion irradiation, about a factor of 3 light loss after ~2.5 Mrad total dose Degradation of energy resolution is 20-50% after ~2.5 Mrad dose October 31, 2008
