| Abstract |
A radiation monitor will be required for the Muon Ionisation Cooling experiment (MICE) beyond Step IV, when the RF cavities are installed. The role of the radiation monitors will be to protect the particle tracking detectors (Trackers) from dangerous levels of RF dark currents and the as- sociated photon fluxes that could potentially be produced in the RF cavities. If such levels of radiation should occur the radiation monitor will ensure that the radiation shields (shutters) are closed thereby protecting the Tracker modules. The radiation monitor will be positioned on these radiation shields and will monitor x-rays, gamma-rays and electrons up to a few MeV. It is expected that the spectrum will peak at very low energies, since the peak voltage across the cavities is 8 MV/m and so the maximum energy that an electron could gain is 12 MeV (maximally accelerated from all four RF cavities). The design, positioning and expected sensitivity of the radiation monitors will be described here along with their readout and inclusion into the MICE interlocking systems. The schedule for the work and progress so far will also be presented.
