HiRadMat status report Adrian Fabich HiRadMat EAM, 4. March 2016 EuCARD-2 is co-funded by the partners and the European Commission under Capacities 7th Framework Programme, Grant Agreement

Modifications YETS15/16 Zone layout for IMPACT – Introducing a virtual zone in TT61 – Allows TT61 to be included both in SPS and HRM facility Shafts V0-V7 in SPS interlock chain 4 – Muon pits of former WANF facility – Manual veto (as in the North Area) handled by EN/EA CV intervention on – 2 days, dates to be confirmed – Access to TJ7 in week 10, partially with oxygen/CO2 meter (to be provided by BE-ICS) FE rack for BPMs moved from TJ7 to TA7 – Avoid impact by beam radiation – ECR SPS-BYBPM-EC-0002 RadMon detectors installed in TT66 and TT61 Extending the surface preparation area – Space for preparing experimental setup with mock-up tunnel configuration SectSC preparations using table/support LPROT Additions to TT61 shielding and TJ7 bunker shielding 4/3/2016A.

HiRadMat tests in 2016 HRMT28-TCDI – collimator test (Graphite and C-C) – Approved – Almost ready for beam HRMT20-MicOpt – Optical microphone as BLM – Approved, follow-up from 2015 – Parallel mode with TDCI – Ready for beam HRMT19-BLM2 – Testing new BLM developments – Approved – Beam time with TDCI – Ready for beam HRMT21-RotColl – Rotating collimator developed at SLAC – Previously tested in SPS ring – Approved – In preparation HRMTxx-BTV – Testing BTV materials – To be approved – Follow-up from 2015 – Setup available for minor modifications HRMTxx-SextSC – Original proposal of testing cold coils approved – In 2016 a pre-test of at ambient temperature is envisaged – to be approved – Preparing … HRMT17-dBM – Diamond detectors – Approved – First HiRadMat tests with ions operational beams only Scintillating SCI screen tests – Latest proposal by ESS/Oslo – Preliminary discussions in the recent days – To be approved – In July? 4/3/2016A. Fabich6 Detailed experiment descriptions available on

Beam pulse lists 4/3/2016A. Fabich requests communicated to BE/OP, MSWG Ion beam time with operational available beams only Expected: Similar accumulated beam time as in 2015

Proposals Improve remote handling/automatic plug-in system for signal cabling – 2015 collective dose for all BA7 access: 0.6 man-mSv Extend the facility for cryogenic tests – e.g. structural damage of SC magnets and systematic quench tests during beam impact – To be studied: LHe supply/recuperation, safety impact … HiRadMat users day – Within framework of the HRM Scientific Board – Inviting former experiments Presenting scientific results and dissemination – Initiate discussing HiRadMat facility improvements/extensions 4/3/2016A.

Access to V0-V6 Muon pits of former WANF Exposed to muon beam in forward direction of HiRadMat target area Access to be restricted upon RP request Access to VO needed about twice a year for intervention by CV Skipping installation of full-fletched access control system (SPS) Padlocks with manual veto system like in the North Area – Agreed by EN, BE and RP (EDMS ) – Installed by BE/ICS – Manual veto held by EN/EA Installation completed, operational from /3/2016A.
