Description
The CERN secondary beamlines of the North and the East Area deliver a huge variety of secondary and tertiary beams, as well as attenuated primary proton and ion beams. The East Area was recently renovated with work finishing in 2021. The North Area will undergo a significant renovation in two phases with the first starting in the upcoming Long Shutdown 3.
This talk will present an overview of activities in the North-Area Consolidation (NA-CONS) project and their impact on beam delivery to the North Area. The project includes general improvements to the beamlines, infrastructure, and test beam facilities, ensuring enhanced capabilities for a broad user community. A particular focus is placed on continuous efforts to improve the purity and availability of electron beams. Additional upgrades, such as a new final focus for the H6 beamline, will also be presented.
