At the LHC era, the detector systems are operating at the harsh hadronic\nenvironment with the unprecedentedly high particle flux. Position sensitive\nsilicon devices are usually positioned at the innermost regions of the\nexperimental setups and must cope with highly non-uniform radiation fields. At\nthe end of LHC Run II, fluence in silicon trackers reached 1015\nneq/cm2. Initial simulation studies predict that the maximal fluence\nfor the HL-LHC may be up to two orders of magnitude higher than the one seen in\nLHC Run I and Run II. In this paper, two general-purpose physics events\ngenerators used for simulation of proton-proton collisions at LHC energies:\nPythia 8.2 and DPMJET 3, are compared. Fluences obtained using these models,\nwith the latest tuning to the LHC data, in detectors situated close to the\npoint of proton-proton collisions are determined as well.\n
