R2E

The R2E (" Radiation to Electronics ") project [1] mandate is to follow up on the equipment failures related to radiation and propose mitigation strategy. One of the key parameter to evaluate the cause of the failures and the strategy on how to avoid them is a precise knowledge of the radiation field around the machine. An overview of the ra-diati on levels for the 2015 and 2016 in the LHC is reported along with the scaling factors to be used for the future runs. The link between radiation levels and failures on the electronic equipment for the 2016 run is discussed in this work with a particular stress on the causes of failures and the mitigation actions which have been or will take place. The future impact of the non-mitigated failures on the LHC operation is also discussed.
