Served by the 24 GeV/c PS proton beam, the East Area contains four beam lines, T8, T9, T10, and T11. The East Area complements the test-beam activities in the North Area by hosting several hundred users per year, and has undergone a complete overhaul to provide test-beam users the most efficient secondary beamlines.
Please find below some details with the specific characteristics of the East Area beamlines. If you wish to familiarise yourself with the T9 and T10 beamlines and control rooms, please feel free to take a virtual tour linked in the table.
