High Energy Hadrons Fluence Measurements in the LHC during 2015, 2016 and 2017 Proton Physics Operations.

Abstract

In order to reduce the risk of failure for the electronic equipment installed in the underground areas of LHC, every year the Radiation Monitors (RadMons) are used to measure the High Energy Hadrons (HEH) fluence in the tunnel and in the shielded areas. In the framework of the Radiation to Electronics Project (R2E), this work discusses the measurements for the proton physics operations in 2015, 2016 and 2017
