Protection from muons in high energy proton accelerators

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

A generalization of the works on muon shielding in proton accelerators is carried out. Coulomb scattering of muons, energy losses in ionization and excitation of atoms, bremsstrahlung, direct pair formation, and nuclear interaction are taken into consideration in the computations. Coefficients obtained from recent experimental data are used in the double differential distribution of pions in p-nuclear interaction. Results of computations of muon shielding in a 1000 Ge Vaccelerator are presented. Results obtained for a. 200 GeV proton accelerator are compared with the computations of other authors.
