Description

CERN offers a diverse set of test beam facilities that offer many different particle types over a large momentum range. These secondary and tertiary beams are produced from primary proton and ion beams of the PS and SPS accelerators and serve fixed-target experiments as well as dedicated experimental areas for test beam users. The available beams range from below 1 GeV/c up to 400 GeV/c and a selectable flux from a few particles up to 10$^9$ particles per extraction. This talk presents a general overview of all beamlines and available experimental areas, including beam properties, and available infrastructure for tests, such as beam telescopes and other beam instrumentation. Finally, a brief overview of the beam control software is given.
