Description
CERN offers a range of beamlines for fixed target physics and test beam studies in its PS East Area (EA) and SPS North Area (NA) accelerator complex. Additionally, CERN also supports a diverse range of activities via its irradiation facilities, including the PS EA based IRRAD, CHARM, CHIMERA and the SPS NA based GIF++ installations.
The year 2022 was the first year of full physics operation at CERN after the extended Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). We will present an overview about the test and physics program at our facilities and report about developments and challenges during this intensive year. We will also discuss the ongoing service and user improvements under the recently started EU funded EURO-LABS project. Finally, we will discuss the upcoming 2023 program and provide an outlook about the expected developments over the course of this year.
