Measuring of induced radioactivity of the HE megatile on IREN at JINR.

Results of measurement of the induced radioactivity caused by neutrons for a segment of a multi sectional scintillation detector (megatile) are presented. Two endcap sampling calorimeters (HE) are parts of the hadron calorimeter (HCAL) of experimental setup CMS. Each HE consists of 648 megatiles. Ir...

Sumario:Results of measurement of the induced radioactivity caused by neutrons for a segment of a multi sectional scintillation detector (megatile) are presented. Two endcap sampling calorimeters (HE) are parts of the hadron calorimeter (HCAL) of experimental setup CMS. Each HE consists of 648 megatiles. Irradiation of a section of the megatile by neutrons has been performed as neutron activation is the main source of induced radioactivity. Irradiation of a segment of the megatile was carried out on IREN - the JINR neutron source facility. The HE will be accessible to humans after a suitable period of cool down.
