Hadron Fluence Measurements with LiF-TLD Sensors at the Proton Synchrotron Accelerator at CERN

Abstract

In view of the implementation of beam-monitoring sensors for CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and also in order to validate Thermoluminescence Detectors as a versatile tool to measure ionizing radiation doses in mixed fields at hadron colliders such as the LHC, chemical vapor deposition diamond sensors have been evaluated and calibrated at CERN's Proton Synchrotron accelerator. Special attention was paid to understanding whether lithiumfluoride thermoluminescence detectors are suitable as measuring devices in these radiation fields
