Description

Radiation fields of minimum ionizing charged particles were surveyed in the East Counter Hall of KEK 12-GeV Proton Synchrotron using a CsI(Tl) scintillation telescope. Existence of stray fields of minimum ionizing charged particles was confirmed and their characteristic features were investigated. As foreseen, they are formed downstream of the beam lines with cone figure. Effective energies evaluated from attenuation with iron absorbers was 1 GeV, provided the response of the detector was only due to muons. Dose equivalent rate at the point was 0.66 μSv/h. (author)
