The Radiation Working Group provides support to the accelerator sector equipment groups for the assessment of radiation tolerance of electronic equipment to be installed in radiation exposed areas.

The RADWG is as a forum for electronic engineers to discuss common design practices and appropriate radiation tests, as well as observed radiation induced failures in the accelerators. It coordinates radiation test campaigns within CERN (CHARM, Co60) and at external facilities (PSI, etc.). The RadWG furthermore informs about simulated or measured radiation levels in the various underground areas.
