Hi. Rad. Mat - Status Adrian Fabich Hi. Rad. Mat Scientific Board CERN, 14 th March 2014

Overview • Report from Hi. Rad. Mat experiments in 2012 • Shut-down work • Summary of 2014 proposals 14/3/2014 A. Fabich 3

2012 experiments • 9 experiments completed • On average 4 weeks between 2 experiment – Partially grouped 14/3/2014 A. Fabich 4

2012 - Protons to Hi. Rad. Mat • Total: 1. 4*1016 protons • About 48 hours of SPS cycling for Hi. Rad. Mat – Preparation, waiting and extractions – Similar time span in 2011 for commissioning 14/3/2014 A. Fabich 5

Experiments in 2012 • • • RIB target R&D LHC transfer collimator (2 x) BLM validation RP benchmarking Crystal collimation Beam tunneling (HRMT 12) TE/MPE R. Schmidt et al. Powder target (HRMT 10) C. Densham et al. Ph. Ds completed: Juan Blanco, Nov. 2013 Nikos Charitonidis, March 2014 03/04/2013 A. Fabich 6

TPSG 4 - 2012 14/3/2014 A. Fabich 7

Shut-down work • Installation of additional cabling – Mainly for vacuum and HQ signal • Removal of experiments from – Remainders in TNC: • LPROT (HRMT 12): follow-up required • TISD (HRMT 01): removal delayed by availability of class-A lab • TPSG 4 (HRMT 06) on target location: removal in April 2014 • Removal of WNAF collimator blocks – Minimum advancement – lengthy preparations for and discussions with authorities 14/3/2014 A. Fabich 8

Proposals • 12 applications – Named 14 xx (year 2014 + running number) – Running number in the order of reception • 9 invited for presentation/discussion • 3 proposals to be discussed “offline” “placing them on the radar screen” – TPGS 4 (1402): repetition with slightly higher intensity – Supra Magnet (1406): later availability – Microphone (1411): purely parasitic 14/3/2014 A.

Beam parameter space 14/3/2014 A. Fabich 10

Time frame • One experiment interested in ion operation • Half the user groups are interested in TA (Transnational Access) 14/3/2014 A. Fabich 11

Aim of Today Review the proposals • Primarily based on the scientific value But also • in view of schedule • Technical feasibility – Note: 3 e 13 p/pulse is the limit until spring 2015 – at a later stage might reach 5 e 13 p/pulse Follow-up: Written report on the view by the Board 14/3/2014 A.
