The New Generation of the CERN Accelerator Radiation Monitoring System for Electronics

More than 400 radiation monitoring devices are nowadays installed in the CERN LHC tunnel and its adjacent shielded areas to measure radiation effects on the electronics and anticipate possible device degradation. Supported by the experience accumulated in the last years' operation, a major system upgrade has been prepared. In this paper, the operational architecture of the new detector will be discussed focusing mainly on the advantages provided to the accelerator radiation monitoring impacting electronics installed in its vicinity. The new data acquisition software infrastructure will be detailed referring to the implemented approach to make the management and the maintenance of the entire system easier.
