FLUKA Simulations for SEE Studies of Critical LHC Underground Areas

FLUKA Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to identify particle energy spectra and fluences relevant for evaluating the risk of single event effects in electronics installed in critical LHC underground areas. Since these simulations are associated with significant uncertainties, the results will compared with an online monitoring system installed to evaluate radiation levels at the location of the electronics. This comparison approach have been benchmarked in a mixed field reference facility and for a preliminary LHC monitoring case study.
