The ATLAS area classification
The ATLAS area classification
The latest dose limits used for the classification of radiation areas at CERN are
given in the table below.
The important limits are the one for supervised (15 microSv/h) and
simple controlled areas (50 microSv/h). During a standard access of ATLAS
the beampipe will remain in place and it will be the main source of radiation.
These limits can therefore be converted into a distance to the beampipe.
In the table below is given the distance to the beampipe for the two
dose limits in three different areas and for three different assumptions
of the luminosity.
In the pictures below are indicated where in ATLAS the different
zoning limits will be for three different assumptions
of the luminosity (click on a picture to get a high-resolution
