CHARM facility update 23/04/2015
1st year - 2014 Construction of the facility has been finished last year on the 9th of October Intensive commissioning period from 10/10/2015 during 1 month First operation period has been performed from 12/11/2014 to 15/12/2014 (≈ 1 month) Within this period we made radiation tests for 10 users on 14 different equipment (in parallel)
