Radiological Protection in Intense Laser Labs- By Rob Clarke
Radiological Protection in Intense Laser Labs- By Rob Clarke

The attached presentation touches on the ongoing research at the Rutherford Appletown Laboratory (RAL) on radiological protection.
The contents of this presentation include

- RAL Petawatt Target Area
- Primary Radiation Emission (γ,p,n)
- Shielding
- Activation
- High Repetition Facilities
- Conclusion

The conclusions drawn in this presentation cover the following areas

- Radiological impact of primary gamma,p,n doses are getting understood
- Primary activation at RAL from p,(x)n reactions
- Ongoing investigations into neutron activation at other facilities
- Primary shielding in the forward direction for high energy photons
- Secondary shielding to protect from lower energies and scattered radiation
