The ATLAS activation studies

The luminosity at the LHC will be a factor of a hundred higher than at any previous accelerator. This means that the induced activation of the accelerator and the experiments will be much larger than at any other collider. While the maintenance of accelerators have in the past been limited due to induced radiation, the LHC experiments will have to confront radiation issues that are completly different from those at any other previous collider experiments. This site contains a collection of information from the activation studies that have been carried out in the ATLAS collaboration.

A file with all the most important radiation maps is available here.
