Shield design aspects of accelerators: pelletron and synchrotron radiation facility

A brief review of physical principles involved in high energy particle interaction with targets in electron and proton accelerators is given. The cascade phenomena and the transport and attenuation of the secondary radiation in shield media are discussed. Shield design methodology for a practical shield designer is given with illustration for shield design of a heavy ion accelerator, pelletron and an electron accelerator, the Indus-2.
