Description
We evaluate the neutron and muon fluxes produced in the ILC beam dump by Monte Carlo simulations and discuss their potential use in irradiation fields. We find that the beam dumps can deliver neutrons about $10^{11}$ times the cosmic radiation on spaces perpendicular to the beam axis and muons $10^8$ times downstream of the beam dumps in the initial phase of the ILC. Large-area irradiation of the order of 1 m$^2$ or more is possible. Differences in the energy distribution of muons in electron and positron beam dumps are also discussed.
