24. The Beamline for Schools competition

Paul Schütze (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

27/01/2020, 17:30

Beamline for Schools (BL4S) is a competition in particle physics for high school students from all around the globe. Each participating team proposes a fixed target experiment that can be performed at the available test beam facilities, making use of the available infrastructure and detectors. The first prize in this competition, awarded to two teams, is a trip to a renowned research...

37. Non-clinical test beams at MedAustron

Felix Ulrich-Pur (Institue for High Energy Physics (HEPHY), Vienna)

27/01/2020, 17:50

MedAustron is a synchrotron based particle therapy centre located in Wiener
Neustadt, close to the capital of Austria. At MedAustron, proton beams with
energies up to 252.7 MeV are used for cancer treatment. The facility also fea-
tures an unique beam line exclusively for non-clincial research. This research
beam line is also commissioned for even higher proton energies of up to 800...

13. Test-beam and irradiation facility for high rates and occupancies with a LHC like beam frequency of 42.5 MHz at the 25 MeV proton cyclotron CYRCé at Strasbourg

Ulrich Goerlach (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (FR))

27/01/2020, 18:10

The IPHC (Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien) has installed a specific beam line for tests and irradiation of detectors with the 25 MeV proton beam of the cyclotron CYRCé. The beam line is composed of standard beam line elements like quadrupoles and steerers and contains several beam diagnostic instruments. The beam leaves the vacuum chamber through a thin Al window, just in front of...

28. Fermilab Test Beam Facility Status and Plans

Dr Evan Niner (Fermilab)

27/01/2020, 18:30

The Fermilab Test Beam Facility is a world class facility for testing and characterizing particle detectors. With two operational beam lines, the facility can deliver a variety of particle types and momenta ranging from 120 GeV protons in the primary beam line down to 200 MeV particles in the tertiary beam line. In the past year, the facility has added an integrated DAQ that includes our...

4. Overview over CERN test beam facilities and updates on their modifications during Long Shutdown 2

Mr Bastien Rae (CERN)

28/01/2020, 10:30

CERN’s accelerator complex offers a great variety of multi-purpose test beam facilities. In this presentation, the multiple possibilities of various beams in North and East experimental areas are presented. Different particle beams with momenta from 0.5 GeV/c to 400GeV/c at intensities up to 10^7 particles per extraction are available. We present the numerous services that we provide to test...

40. The CERN Proton and Gamma Irradiation Facilities during and beyond the Long Shutdown 2

Martin Richard Jaekel (CERN), Federico Ravotti (CERN)

28/01/2020, 10:50

During the first run (2015-2018), the Proton Irradiation Facility (IRRAD) in the PS East Area, and the Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++) in the SPS North Area at CERN provided an essential service for performing irradiation experiments on detector & accelerator elements, electronic components and materials.
In IRRAD, the primary 24 GeV/c proton beam of the PS is extracted to the T8 beamline...

7. SPS H2 Beam Line Simulation: Energy Loss and Material Impact at HGCAL Test Beam

Ufuk Guney Tok (Cukurova University (TR))

28/01/2020, 11:10

The R&D challenges of the future CMS High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) necessitate validation with data of the various components, with fully controlled beam quality (in terms of momentum resolution and contamination). For this reason, test beams in the dedicated test-beam area of the H2 beam line of CERN’s North Area took place during the autumn of 2018. Different high-energy hadron and...

20. The DESY II Test Beam Facility

Paul Schütze (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

28/01/2020, 11:30

The DESY II Test Beam Facility was in operation from February to December in 2019 and will resume operation after the End-of-the-Year-Shutdown in February 2020. In this contribution, a review over the test beam period in 2019 and an outlook on the upcoming season 2020 will be given. Furthermore, the current status and plans for the near and far future of the DESY II Test Beam Facility will be...

32. The Test Beam Facilities Online Database

Blerina Gkotse (Mines ParisTech (FR))

28/01/2020, 11:50

Irradiation and test beam facilities are used for detector R&D and more specifically for performing experiments about radiation hardness characterization and testing of detectors’ performance, respectively. The availability of these facilities and the choice of the most suitable one for a given experiment is an important factor that may affect the quality of the experiment itself, its result...
