The North Area comprises seven beamlines for secondary and tertiary beams, two experimental halls EHN1 and EHN2 above the ground as well as the underground cavern ECN3. The beams are produced after the 400 GeV/c SPS proton beam on each of the three primary targets T2, T4, and T6.
Four of the beamlines, H2, H4, H6, and H8, are located in EHN1. They are primarily used for test-beam purposes and offer a variety of particle types, such as hadron or electron beams.
The M2 beamline, which is used to study physics with either high-energy hadron or muon beams, leads to the EHN2 hall, where the AMBER experiment is permanently installed. In addition, it is also possible to request beam time for test-beam purposes.
The P42 and the K12 beamlines lead to the underground cavern ECN3, where the NA62 experiment is currently located that receives a tertiary kaon beam.
Please feel free to explore the pages of the different facilities below, where you can find more detailed information about the specific beamline characteristics as well as the contact details of the responsible beamphysicists are available.
