Abstract

In March 2010 one of the most exposed collimators of the 590 MeV proton beam line at the Paul Scherrer Institut, was visually inspected after 20 years of operation without failure and a total beam charge of 120 Ah. Two samples of pieces peeling off the surface were taken and analyzed with a HPGe detector. The (relative) activity was compared to calculations (MCNPX and Cinder'90). Due to the high dose rate of the collimator, radiological precautions had to be taken when removing it from the beam line.
