Description

HiRadMat (High Irradiation to Materials), constructed in 2011, is a facility at CERN designed to provide high-intensity pulsed beams to an irradiation area where material samples as well as accelerator component assemblies can be tested. The facility uses a 440 GeV proton beam extracted from the CERN SPS with a pulse length of up to 7.2 s, to a maximum pulse energy of 3.4 MJ (3*10^13 proton/pulse). The presentation will demonstrate the possibilities for research using this facility and showing examples of upcoming experiments scheduled for the coming beam period starting in Autumn 2014.
