Abstract
The BioXAS beamlines consist of an undulator beamline followed by two wiggler beamlines sharing the same insertion device. To contain gas bremsstrahlung in the primary optical enclosure (POE), three tungsten blocks are placed, one of which is common to all the three beamlines.A radiation shielding study is carried out for primary and secondary gas bremsstrahlung of the BioXAS beamlines. Dose rates behind the back wall, side wall and the top of the roof are obtained by calculating energy depositions in a water phantom, which surrounds the POE. Discussion is made regarding the adequacy of radiation shielding for the BioXAS beamlines, which will be built in the near future at the Canadian Light Source.
