The Trento Proton Therapy Center is a cyclotron based proton therapy center located in Trento (Italy) where proton beams with energies from 70 MeV up to 228 MeV are used for cancer treatment. The Center started clinical operations in 2015 and since then more than 1300 patients were treated.
The facility features not only two patient rooms, both equipped with 360 degree rotating gantries, but...
The ELSA facility at Bonn University offers a primary electron beam for two hadron physics experiments and detector test applications. The beam is extracted from a 0.5 to 3.2 GeV storage ring with an energy deviation smaller than 0.1 percent. A dedicated detector test beamline has started operation in mid 2016 and has so far served the local high-energy physics research group in several...
In this overview, we will describe the last activities regarding the INFN-LNF beam test facility (BTF) beam implementation from the LINAC point of view and the related BTF conditioning and detection capabilities. A glance at the last experiment with 300ns pulse and an overview of the lines doubling project will end our description.
The test beam and irradiation facilities at the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) are well established. They are highly versatile and provide hadron, electron and muon beams at a configurable momentum and intensity. Depending on the year, ion beams are available as well.
As CERN is ramping up its accelerator chain again after the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2), this...
The DESY II Test Beam Facility provides user groups with three test beams of several kiloelectrons per second with energies between 1 and 6 GeV - typically for around 40 weeks every year.
As part of the test beam infrastructure, permanently installed EUDET-type beam telescopes are available to all users. They have been successfully operated for more than ten years and still provide a...
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. Beam intensities range from 1 fA to maximal 100 nA. The Cyclotron delivers a pulsed beam with a frequency of 85 MHz, which can be divided at the source by an oscillating electrostatic field of 21.25MHz down to 42.5...
The upcoming High-Luminosity upgrade of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and the R&D on future accelerators (FCC) require radiation hardness tests and qualification of tracking and calorimetry detector components as well as muon gas detectors. The reference facilities at CERN for this kind of irradiation tests are the East Area Proton Irradiation Facility (IRRAD) and the North Area...
