Abstract
The use of the empirical Moyer model for the determination of transverse neutron shielding for high-energy proton accelerators is described and discussed. It is shown that an important advantage of the Moyer Model is the physical insight it offers towards understanding the complex interactions that comprise the shielding processes. Calculations for pointlike and extended uniform beam loss distributions are discussed and their relationship to practical shielding conditions developed. The calculations required by the model are readily performed on small programmable calculators and thus are widely accessible. Program listings for practical calculations using a Hewlett-Packard HP-97 calculator are available on request.
