N1 - Funding Information:
We would like to thank our colleagues from CMS, and in particular J. Bourotte and M. Haguenauer, for their interest and assistance in the various tests described in this paper. We are grateful to N. Doble, who provided us with particle beams of excellent quality. This project was carried out with financial support from CERN, the US Department of Energy, RMKI–KFKI (Hungary, OTKA grant T 016823), the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), CICYT (Spain, grant AEN96-2051-E), the International Science Foundation (grants M82000 and M82300), the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Science and Technologies, and the Russian Research Foundation (grant 95-02-04815). We gratefully acknowledge the legacy of Nelson, Hirayama and Rogers [5] , whose EGS4 program continues to prove invaluable in planning, preparing for and analyzing data of almost every experiment in high-energy particle physics these days.

N2 - The experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will have to deal with unprecedented radiation levels. In the large-rapidity regions, close to the beam pipe, these levels reach megagrays per year. The detectors to be installed in these regions, the HF Calorimeters, are designed to operate under these conditions. In this paper, we describe the results of studies in which a prototype calorimeter was exposed to radiation of the type and intensity expected at the LHC. These studies made it possible to estimate the effects of this radiation on the response and the resolution of the calorimeter as a function of time during LHC operation.
