Description
Controlling induced radioactivity remains crucial for high-intensity proton accelerators. This study analyzes radiation hotspots in a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) using extensive dose measurements (2018-2025). We identified hotspots (>5 mSv/h) exhibiting either transient ("peaking-then-decreasing") or persistent ("increasing-then-stabilizing") behavior. Strategic measures - orbit correction, parameter optimization, and hardware improvements - effectively reduced radiation, exemplified by Kicker01's dose rate dropping from 20 mSv/h. However, persistent hotspots like R1SD03 (~10 mSv/h) require further study of local beam loss mechanisms. These findings advance radiation control strategies for safer, more efficient proton accelerators.
