Shielding High Energy Accelerators

G. R. Stevenson

After introducing the subject of shielding high energy accelerators, point source, line-of-sight models, and in particular the Moyer Model, are discussed. Their use in the shielding of proton and electron accelerators is demonstrated and their limitations noted, especially in relation to shielding in the forward direction provided by large, flat walls. The limitations of reducing problems to those using a cylindrical geometry description are stressed. Finally the use of different estimators for predicting dose is discussed. It is suggested that dose calculated from track-length estimators will generally give the most satisfactory estimate.
