Reference articles

There are four main publications which should be referenced in context of using data obtained during an experiment at CERF:

  1. F. Pozzi and M. Silari, The CERN-EU high-energy Reference Field (CERF) facility: New FLUKA reference values of spectral fluences, present and newly proposed operational quantities,  Nuclear Instruments and Methods A 979, 1 November 2020, 164477

  2. M. Silari and F. Pozzi, "The CERN-EU high-energy Reference Field (CERF) facility: applications and latest developments", EPJ Web of Conferences 153, 03001, 1-6, 2017.

  3. A. Ferrari, F. P. La Torre, G. P. Manessi, F. Pozzi and M. Silari, "Monitoring reactions for the calibration of relativistic hadron beams", Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A 763, 177-183, 2014.

  4. A. Mitaroff and M. Silari, "The CERN-EU high-energy Reference Field (CERF) facility for dosimetry at commercial flight altitudes and in space", Radiation Protection Dosimetry 102, 7-22, 2002.

An additional publication that may be of interest, dealing with the impact of the new ICRP/ICRU quantities on the CERF reference values, is:

  1. F. Pozzi, M. Ferrarini, F. Ferulli and M. Silari, Impact of the newly proposed ICRU/ICRP quantities on neutron calibration fields and extended range neutron rem-counters, , Journal of Radiological Protection 39, 920–937, 2019.
