Due to the increasing concern about neutron levels, in part due to the reduction of the photon radiation levels with the increased thickness of the hutch walls, the existing constructive models were revisited and a new constructive approach based on Carbon-Steel (CS) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is proposed for the SIRIUS beamlines, leading to increased overall radiation protection and potentially lower cost. This work is going to show preliminary simulation results, cost-comparison, as well as a few mechanical design details and prototyping initiatives.
