The Swiss Light Source (SLS) is a third-generation synchrotron light source with an electron energy of 2.4 GeV. It consists of a linear accelerator, a booster and a storage ring providing light for various applications. As SLS is a high-energy accelerator, its operation is accompanied with production of ionizing radiation fields, including neutrons. This leads to additional challenges from a radiation protection point of view. The long-term investigation of the radiation fields at this accelerator facility can provide useful information for the residual activation studies and optimization of shielding. This work describes measurements of the neutron radiation fields inside the tunnel and results of this study.
