Abstract

When an electron is lost in the storage ring due to a bremsstrahlung it produces high energy photons. These photons, in turn, produce neutrons. In the vicinity of the storage ring the residual radiation field is dominated by these photons and neutrons.

The report describes first results of the radiation field measurements. The measurement was carried out by a set of high sensitivity to scattered particles monitors which were placed near the vacuum chamber at critical positions of the ring.

The extended use of beam loss monitoring gives a better understanding of the linear and non-linear physics involved in the single and multiple particle dynamics.
