Beam losses at the PS are characterized by different time structures according to the location in the machine where they occur. In the positions where the losses are extremely pulsed, the performances of the detectors measuring the ambient dose equivalent rate can be affected by dead-time losses. This note presents the results of a series of measurements carried out in October/November 2011 at four positions around the PS accelerator complex with different detectors used by the RP group. It compares the experimental results with FLUKA simulations, where available, and explains the inconsistency according to the features of each detector.

Abstract
Beam losses at the PS are characterized by different time structures according to the location in the machine where they occur. In the positions where the losses are extremely pulsed, the performances of the detectors measuring the ambient dose equivalent rate can be affected by dead-time losses. This note presents the results of a series of measurements carried out in October/November 2011 at four positions around the PS accelerator complex with different detectors used by the RP group. It compares the experimental results with FLUKA simulations, where available, and explains the inconsistency according to the features of each detector.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
