Preliminary Modeling Of Radiation Levels At The Fermilab PIP-II Linac

PIP-II is the Fermilabs flagship project for providing powerful, high-intensity proton beams to the laboratorys experiments. The heart of PIP-II is an 800-MeV superconducting linac accelerator. It will be located in a new tunnel with new service buildings and connected to the present Booster through a new transfer line. To support the design of civil engineering and mechanical integration, this paper provides preliminary estimation of radiation level in the gallery at an operational beam loss limit of 0.1 W/m, by means of Monte Carlo calculations with FLUKA and MARS15 codes.
