Cryer, Alice Margaret ORCID: 0000-0003-0471-4097 (2021) Using emerging technologies to reduce occupational radiation exposure in the ATLAS ID Decommissioning, and other high-radiation environments. PhD thesis, University of Sheffield.
Abstract
Continuing to push back the frontiers of high energy physics requires colliders and detectors of increasing scale, operating at higher energies and intensities than ever before. The unavoidable byproduct of these experiments is an increase of radiation in the surrounding area. However, reliance on human interventions for such tasks is unsustainable and other methods must be investigated. This thesis will outline the use of emerging technologies to reduce occupational radiation exposure in the ATLAS ID Decommissioning, and other high-radiation environments. This work anticipated the addition of digital twins in the Virtual Reality Intervention Planning Platform; a benchmark radiation tolerance would provide users with a lifetime estimation useful for maintenance planning.
