Selection of radiation tolerant commercial greases for high-radiation areas at CERN: Methodology and applications

At the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), commercial greases and oils are extensively used to lubricate moving devices operating in high-radiation areas, absorbing doses up to the MGy range. Due to their sensitivity to radiation, lubricants can become fluid or solid in operation, poten...
