Abstract
The main goal of the project is an assessment of the radiation impact on electronic equipment in the Front End Building of the ESS linac. It is desired to develop a tool to integrate the physical information from Monte Carlo radiation transport codes with the engineering requirements for electronics. The aim is to map, analyse and protect the electronic circuits against radiation in the accelerator tunnel of the ESS. To assess the radiation damage to electronics, it is necessary to calculate and simulate the neutron and gamma energy spectra and fluxes, as well as characterize the quantities used to predict radiation damage and fold the spectra with the response functions.
