IRRAD Facility • • Today: 2 x 1015 p/cm 2/day (on 12 x 12 mm 2 spot) with 2 -to-3 spills per CPS which gives about 1 e 16 p/cm 2 per week (might get more later this year) Shuttle system will be ready in September (higher throughput of small samples) 4/6/2015 Michael Moll, Henric Wilkens (CERN) 6

The North Experimental Areas at the SPS • • The SPS proton beam (400/450 Ge. V/c) slowly extracted to North Area 2 x 4. 8 s spills per ~ 30 -40 s supercycle Directed towards the three North Area primary targets T 2, T 4 and T 6 • From the primary targets: – T 2 H 2 and H 4 beam lines (electrons from gama conversions, 400 Ge. V max, 39. 107 p/spill max at 1012 pot) – T 4 H 6 and H 8 beam lines (electrons selected by Bremsstrahlung, 200/400 Ge. V max, similar intensities as above), and P 42/K 12 beam line (NA 62) – T 6 M 2 beam line (NA 58/COMPASS) 4/6/2015 Michael Moll, Henric Wilkens (CERN) 7

North Area Test Beams NA 61 H 2 H 4 GIF++ ATLAS, Eu. DET, SILC… H 6 H 8 Up to 4 user areas per beam line Possibility to take parasitic muons behind main user Some areas permanently occupied by LHC users (ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, TOTEM) 4/6/2015 Michael Moll, Henric Wilkens (CERN) 8

GIF++ The new CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility started operation It is the result of the collaboration between EN, PH Departments and users (AIDA). Relevant infrastructures are ready. Others (from users) will be completed soon. GIF++ facility in the ENH 1 experimental hall The new 14 TBq 137 Cs irradiator 4/6/2015 Michael Moll, Henric Wilkens (CERN) 9

GIF++ Irradiation and beam time are already fully booked for 2015 15 setups from different LHC experiments are ready to start R&D activities: ageing tests or detector validation test in presence of high radiation background and beam. Starting from June/July the bunker is fully occupied. Several setups from ATLAS and CMS experiments as well as R&D for gas systems and beam monitoring chambers. Other users/experiments interested Detailed schedule within GIF users being finalized. GIF users in the bunker: Example for one beam time period 4/6/2015 Michael Moll, Henric Wilkens (CERN) 10
