-
- Very busy year with users on both areas:
- CHARM: ~40 test requests from equipment groups and experiments + weekly testing of electronics components (BE-CEM)
- IRRAD: >1200 samples pre-registered by users (some proposed experiment need to be reduced!) – >1/3 irradiated so far, now the facility is fully “loaded” every week
- 24 GeV/c Beam:
-
- Very good delivered weekly intensity, matching the average of 2024 (~2.4E16 p/w) that allows us often to produce ~>500 Gy/w from the CHARM target
- Weekly detail: https://ps-irrad.web.cern.ch/ps-irrad/documents/int/weekly_intensity_until_week.png
- Centering very good for most of the weeks. We and CCC keep a close look to correct the “slow” drift of the beam centre still occurring in some week.
- MD activities so far on T8:
- Development of lower energy proton beams: 1(or 2) GeV, 10 GeV/c and 12 GeV/c tested so far. Of interest for this year’s CSBF run, for the related heavy ion beam development (HEARTS) and after LS3 also for detector (EP) and electronics testing (BE/SY)
- Fast-extracted versions of the above proton beams also being developed by the CCC (on the DUMP) to be used later for calibration & cross-section measurements (with BE-EA)
- During the proton “cool-down” period (Wed. 3am-8am): measurements of Oxygen (and Neon) beam for HEARTS with diode/SRAM/MWPC in IRRAD Zone 1
- Possibilities to perform/continue these studies are constraint to the availability of IRRAD and CHARM areas from regular 24 GeV/c proton operation
- The name change for the T8 beam instruments XION071 and XSEC095 is now implemented in almost all systems (NXCALs, etc.) – CESAR for T8 still needs to be updated (request already sent – to be followed up)
- Electrical consolidation works in the IRRAD/CHARM external area better to be scheduled outside our operation period (recent request to replace multi-sockets, switches, etc. in IRRAD and CHARM rooms which we could not allow also to restrain the access to our areas where in these weeks users are manipulating irradiate materials)
- September 24th : CSBF run (HSE-RP)
- Early October : installation of HEARTS test setup, beam-pipe shortening (BE-EA) and prototype of new cryocooler system in IRRAD to be installed
- November 19th : beginning of the HEARTS user run with Pb
