Abstract

In order to evaluate materials such as superconducting magnet components for use in the high-dose radiation environment of the large recirculating charged-particle accelerators such as CERN's Large Hadron Collider (Switzerland/France), CEBAF (Virginia), HERA (Hamburg, Germany), Fermilab's Tevatron (Illinois), and the recently cancelled Superconducting Super Collider (Texas), a study of the radiation resistance of these materials was carried out. These materials must withstand absorbed doses as large as 10 7Gy at a temperature of 4 K and were tested under these conditions using an electron beam from a 20 MeV linear accelerator. This paper describes the dosimetry at such very large doses and how the dose was delivered to the samples.
