**1. INTRODUCTION**

This is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Fermilab and
experimenters who have committed to participate in "the Shielding and
Radiation Effect Experiments" to be carried out for several years,
starting in October 2007.

This memorandum is intended solely for the purpose of providing a work
allocation for Fermilab and the participating institutions and
universities. It reflects an arrangement that is currently satisfactory
to the parties involved. It is recognized that changing circumstances of
the evolving research program may necessitate further revisions. The
parties agree to negotiate amendments to this memorandum to reflect such
revisions.

In all the phases of the experimental work outlined in this MOU, the
experimenters will abide by the Fermilab Environmental Safety and Health
Manual (FESHM) as prescribed and guided by the laboratory's safety
staff.

**2. PROJECT OUTLINE**

The efforts covered by this MOU are meant to be the start of a project
of "shielding and radiation effects" using various accelerator
facilities at Fermilab. The project includes fundamental research in the
following areas for future accelerators with higher energy and higher
intensity and space science facilities:

\- Shielding data; production and transmission, cascade in targets,
collimator and shields,

\- Radiation effects on instruments and materials.

The purpose of this project is to obtain the following data for high
energy particles using Fermilab accelerator facilities:

\(1\) Shielding data,

> Measuring quantity - Energy spectra of generated or transmitted
> particles

\- Prompt dose rates

> \- Radioactive nuclide production rates in materials and air

Location - Beam line, target & beam dump

\- Inside & outside shield

\- Penetration duct

\(2\) Radiation effect data

Measuring quantity - Absorbed dose

> \- Radionuclide production and residual dose
>
> \- DPA (displacement per atom) of materials
>
> \- Soft error of semi-conductors

Location - use same locations for shielding-data measurement

Since experimental shielding data in the high energy region above 1GeV
is very scarce, the data from this experiment will be very useful for
the following:

(a) Benchmarking of simulation codes (MARS, PHITS and FLUKA)

\- Possible accuracy upgrade,

\- Modification of physical model and parameterizations.

(b) Material science, space science, high energy accelerator science and
    engineering.

> \- Provide irradiation field for radiation effect studies of materials
> or devices
>
> \- Development of simulation code for radiation damage and
> radionuclide production.

(c) Radiation safety estimation for

> \- prompt dose distribution inside and outside shield and through
> penetration ducts
>
> \- residual activity in material and air

The project can make use of the variety of facilities at Fermilab with a
wide range of proton-beam energies to obtain systematic data for
shielding and radiation effects.

400 MeV Linac - Neutron therapy facility, etc.

8 GeV Booster - MI8 Booster Main injector transport line, MINIBooNE,
etc.

120 GeV MI - Pbar target station, NuMI, Meson Test Beam Facility, MIPP

1 TeV Tevatron - Tevatron beam dump, D0, CDF

This MOU includes two experiments - one at the "***[Pbar target
station]{.underline}***" and one at the "***[NuMI absorber &
MINOS]{.underline}***" planned for the first two years of the project
(Oct. 2007 -- Mar. 2009). The experiments at the other facilities can be
planned for after April 2009, and these will be the subject of a
separate MOU.

**3. EXPERIMENTS**

**3.1 Pbar target station**

A parasitic experiment will be performed over a period of 2 years at the
Pbar target station as follows:

\(1\) 1^st^ year (Oct. 2007- Mar.2008) - preliminary measurements

\(2\) 2^nd^ year (Apr.2008- Mar.2009) - upgraded measurement with
extended locations.

The pbar target, irradiated by 120 GeV protons from the Main Injector,
is shielded by 224-cm thick steel and 122-cm concrete. A 183-cm air gap
exists between the steel and concrete shields. Spatial distribution and
energy spectra of secondary particles around the target, inside and
outside of the shield, and through penetration ducts will be measured.
Detection techniques, locations and brief schedule are listed in the
Table 3-1.

Samples are placed at the end of a shutdown period. Stable irradiation
for 1\~2 weeks with at least 30% of full power is needed for activation
measurement. No beam-off is required for removing the activation foils
or disks (See 3.4).

\- Experiment time

Sample irradiation: 1\~2 weeks (2E18 protons) x 2 times/yr x 2 years

Active counter measurement: 1 week (overlapped with sample irradiation)

\- Sample counting

Approximately 150 foils for the first year's exposure are placed in the
air gap, with approximately 25 more on the shield. These will be counted
at the High Intensity Laboratory as counter capacity allows. The second
year's samples will depend upon the results found in the first round.

\- Sample transport

The safety departments of Accelerator and Particle Physics Division will
work in coordination to develop a protocol for the safe and expeditious
transfer of samples from the irradiation area to the counting area at
HIL.

**3.2 NuMI Absorber & MINOS**

A parasitic experiment will be performed over a period of 2 years at the
NuMI beam line as follows.

\(1\) 1^st^ year (Oct.2007- Mar.2008) - muon & neutron measurement at
muon alcoves

\(2\) 2^nd^ year (Apr.2008- Mar.2009) - dose & particle measurement
outside absorber shield

The NuMI absorber is located at 73m underground at the end of the decay
pipe. Muons and neutrinos go through rock after the absorber. There are
4 muon alcoves between the absorber and the MINOS hall. Energy spectra
of neutrons induced by muons and neutrino in the rock will be measured
at the MINOS hall & the bypass tunnel. Neutron flux will be measured at
the muon alcoves and at the absorber shield surface by activation
detectors. Table 3-2 is a summary of measurement. Approximately 50
irradiation samples for the first year's exposure are placed in the NuMI
areas. The samples for the second year's exposure will depend upon the
results of the first round.

The experimenters will remove or exchange activation detectors in the
alcoves or the absorber hall when breaks in beam delivery happen and
access is allowed. Irradiation needs 2 weeks to 6 months.

  ------ ---------------------------------------- -----------------------

The detectors are shipped from Japan. Most of the electronic modules
(i.e. ADC, CFD, Gate generator etc.) and crates are loaned from PREP
(See Appendix II). DAQ systems are shipped from Japan.

For detector calibration and circuit tuning, calibration sources from
the Fermilab inventory are used. The experimenters will negotiate with
the MINOS Experiment for scheduling any use of the calibration sources
at the MINOS hall or NuMI bypass-tunnel. Any calibrations with neutron
sources will be conducted at the Radiation Physics Calibration Facility
(RPCF) with the approval in advance of the Senior Radiation Safety
Officer.

Active counter measurements above the concrete shield at the pbar target
station will be made in a number of sessions as listed in the attached
schedule. The liaison physicist for the pbar target station will
coordinate the accesses in conjunction with the AD ES&H Department
collaborator to minimize the impact on pbar stacking operation. Each
access will require a few minutes of stacking off time while
experimenters access the target vault to change the counting setup. The
key to the target vault will be kept by a person designated by the ES&H
collaborator. Before each access the person holding the target vault key
will notify the AD MCR crew chief and request that the beam switch be
taken to interrupt stacking. Upon confirmation that stacking has been
turned off, the key holder will unlock the target vault and permit
experimenters to access the target vault. The accesses should be
pre-planned and executed safely, efficiently and deliberately to
minimize interruption in pbar stacking operation. Upon completion of the
target vault access, the key holder will ensure that all personnel have
left the target vault enclosure and will then notify the AD MCR crew
chief that it is safe to resume stacking operations. The total
interruption in stacking operation (beam off time) for the accesses
(estimated at 25) related to active counter measurements above the
concrete shield for all sessions listed in the attached schedule should
not exceed approximately 4 hours.

**3.4 Remove irradiated samples and residual activity measurements**

The irradiated samples are removed from the irradiation spots at Pbar
under supervision of AD Radiation Safety Group personnel, either through
penetration ducts from the air gap, or over the target-station concrete
wall from the concrete shield cap. The samples are pulled by strings
connected to the sample holders. This should be well arranged at the
setting up stage. In case of difficult situations for this procedure,
samples are taken out by accessing when beam is off.

The irradiated samples are removed from irradiation spots at NuMI muon
alcoves or absorber hall when access is allowed.

The samples irradiated both at Pbar or NuMI are transported by a
government vehicle to a counting room at HIL (High Intensity Lab.), and
the gamma rays from radionuclide produced in the samples are measured by
High Purity Germanium (Hp-Ge) detectors. A part of irradiated samples
with low residual dose rates (\< 1 mrem/hr) can be measured by
Ge-detectors at RAF in case of sample overflow. Measurement period is
approximately 2\~4 weeks for each experiment.

Several Ge-detectors are shipped from JAEA and KEK, Japan. About 100
pieces of lead bricks (5x10x20cm^3^) are loaned from PPD for shielding
these Ge-detectors. MCAs (Multi-channel analyzer) are also shipped from
Japan. These Ge-detectors are set up in a counting room at HIL. Liquid
nitrogen should be supplied every couple of days. A total of 270 liters
per week may be needed during the initial cool down of the crystals,
with a use of 120 liters per week afterward.

**3.5 Chemical analysis of irradiated sample**

A part of foils, water and concrete samples irradiated at Pbar or NuMI
are transported by a government vehicle to a chemical laboratory at RAF,
and the radionuclides produced in the samples are chemically separated.
Only samples registering a contact dose rate of less than 1 mrad/hr will
be processed at the Fermilab RAF chemistry lab and when this work does
not interrupt services to the primary Fermilab program. The number of
samples will be limited so that the integrated dose rate remains less
than 1 mrad/hr at one foot from the set. The process takes 1 week for
each experiment. Samples which need long term analyses are shipped to
Japan.
