AWAKE and HiRadMat 2020
AWAKE and HiRadMat 2020 21 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger It was a busy year also for HiRadMat and AWAKE, both looking forward to restarting operation in 2021 and profiting from the LS period defining their mid- and long-term plans and advance in respective preparations. CERNs’ High Radiation to Materials facility (HiRadMat) will resume operation

Cabling, Connectors and Qualification
Cabling, Connectors and Qualification 18 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger Preparing for today’s Advent entry, I first made a fast scan through my email box and this years’ entries related to our cabling support activities, initially looking for the most representative examples to share with you. Given the large variety of work and diversity of

Cleaning and dismantling
Cleaning and dismantling 16 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger Based on LS1 experience and triggered by the various projects within our group, it was in 2018 during a group management retreat when we realized that many work packages and activities will require critical dismantling and cleaning tasks to be carried out in radioactive areas. Based

Collimators and the RL40 workshop
Collimators and the RL40 workshop 13 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger Yesterday having looked at the surrounding shielding structures, today let us continue walking along the East and North Area beamlines where you come across several different beam elements: magnets, beam instrumentation, beam pipes, mechanical supports and regularly also collimators. The latter, not visible from

Shielding activities
Shielding activities 12 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger When strolling through our experimental areas you certainly got used to the hundreds of shielding blocks, surrounding the experiments, delimiting the beamlines, and ensuring the required radiation protection. They tend coming (with few exceptions) in three ‘flavours’: concrete, iron and marble, and aim at optimizing the attenuation

North Area – Ready for Consolidation
North Area – Ready for Consolidation 5 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger Following yesterdays’ EAR project, what could be a better transition than the North Area Consolidation (NA-CONS)? Over the past years several respective high priority consolidation activities (focusing on safety and critical services) were already successfully launched and implemented in the North FT Areas

RF separated beams
RF separated beams 19 DECEMBER, 2022 | By Fabian Metzger The M2 beam served the COMPASS experiment since beginning of data taking in 2002. It can run in three different modes, namely it is able to deliver muon, hadron and electron beams to EHN2. Now, that COMPASS data taking has finished and AMBER is taking

The longest running experiment at the SPS
The longest running experiment at the SPS 4 DECEMBER, 2022 | By Lau Gatignon and Dipanwita Banerjee The M2 beam was the first beam to start operation in the North Area in 1978. As a dedicated high-intensity high-energy muon beam it served a very important and successful muon physics program, including the EMC, NMC and
