  1. Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy DimitrovL.P., Iaydjiev P.S., Mitev G.M., Vankov I.V. Radiation monitoring at the new GIF++ irradiation facility at CERN

  2. GIF++ is a new Gamma Irradiation Facility being built at CERN. It combines a 16.65 TBeq 137 Cs source with a high-energy particle beam in the SPS H4 beam line. It is expected to be operational in 2015. Our task: to provide a system for online monitoring of the absorbed dose in the devices and objects being irradiated. GIF++

  3. Radiation sensitive p-channel MOS field effect transistors (RadFET). Ionizing radiation causes buildup of positive charge in the gate oxide layer and rises the threshold voltage Vth=a×Db Already tested and used in TOTEM and ATLAS experiments at CERN. LAAS 1600 – sensitive in the range up to few tens of Gy. REM 250 – sensitive in the range up to few tens of kGy. PIN diodes - sensitive to particle fluence. Sensors

  5. Main controller unit (in a 6U crate). 50m cable from each detector node to a passive splitter box. Up to 4 detector boards can be connected to the splitter, using shorter cables. On-site layout

  6. Two boards containing 1 LAAS and 1 REM device were irradiated. The LAAS devices showed about 16% difference in threshold voltage. The REM devices returned almost identical response. The system achieved 8mV input sensitivity (36 V full scale) RESULTS from the test run at GIF

  7. The measurement system has been successfully tested and is ready for integration with the GIF++ control system. The communication protocol with the GIF++ control system has yet to be defined and implemented. The REM devices should be further irradiated at GIF++ to obtain a calibration curve beyond the initial region. conclusions

  8. The “Radiation Sensors for Gif++” task is part of the Advanced European Infrastructures for Detectors at Accelerators (AIDA) project, co-funded by the European Commission under FP7 Research Infrastructures, grant agreement no 262025 and by INRNE (Sofia) - Bulgarian Scientific Fund, Ministry of Education, Youth and Science. Thank you for your attention
