Hardware and Software Upgrades for the Proton Irradiation Facility after the LS2
by
CERN
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. One of the reference facilities at CERN for these irradiation tests is the East Area Proton Irradiation facility (IRRAD) operated by EP-DT.
In this seminar, the key steps for performing an irradiation experiment (preparation, execution, dosimetry, samples logistic & results availability) will be reviewed in the light of the new IRRAD Data Manager (IDM) web application developed for this purpose. The new infrastructure, control system, hardware and software components being upgraded and available to the IRRAD users after the LS2 will also be presented. Finally, a comprehensive data model for irradiation experiments, pre-requisite for developing common software tools for the irradiation facilities community at large, will be discussed in this presentation.
