Description

DESY, an international accelerator research center, builds on over six decades of experience in the design, construction, and operation of world-class user facilities. The upcoming PETRA IV project represents a major upgrade from PETRA III into a 4th generation light source, involving a complete rebuild of the accelerator and a full redesign of its radiation-protection systems. This upgrade requires advanced shielding calculations and designs for both the accelerator and new buildings, in particular the new user hall, a state-of-the-art personnel safety system, and safety processes fully aligned with current laws and standards. In addition, advanced radiation-detection systems are being developed to ensure continuous monitoring of beam operation. This contribution provides an overview of the initial concepts for PETRA IV’s radiation-protection strategy, highlighting key design challenges, safety innovations, and implementation considerations for a modern, high-performance synchrotron facility.
