Fiona Harden New team member Fellow in EN/EA on R2E and HiRadMat since April 2017 - One fellow is great - one (tech.) student at a time would have a great opportunity EA-EC support available, needs to be secured Update EDMS 1154586 “HiRadMat Facility management” 25/4/2017 A. Fabich

Transnational Access EU FP7 finances travel/accommodation for HRM users external to CERN. Great support from CERN-EU office, particularly Sabrina! clarified/improved visitor registration in preparation 288 user days at CERN enabled through HiRadMat in FP7 25/4/2017 A. Fabich

ARIES Successor to EuCARD2 EU proposal submitted in 2016 ARIES WP10 is split across two tasks: Task 10.1 – HiRadMat Task 10.2 – UNILAC (GSI) Approved from May 2017 for 4 years 100 kEUR (-10 kEuro for Sabrina) CERN operational budget about 50-80 kCHF/year Transnational Access TNA counting is different from EuCARD2 200 beam hours (HRM cycle in the super-cycle) promised 5 experiments, 5 shifts/experiment, 8 hours/shift 2016: FlexMat, Jaws, TDIcoat, MultiMat, RotColl For all experiments: assure at least one publication For TNA supported experiments: relevant publication with ARIES acknowledgment 25/4/2017 A.

Usually beam time in envisaged week, back-up in the following week. No experimental installation in TNC/TT61 – time reserved for shut-down works First experiments installed by week 17, before LHC start-up BTV ATLAS pixel RotColl TaScat, CRY2, TCDI, TDIcoat FlexMat SextSC MultiMat Backup+ Usually beam time in envisaged week, back-up in the following week. 25/4/2017 A.

HiRadMat User Day Work shop at CERN in June 2016, supported by EuCARD2 ~50 participants with TNA users from Czechia, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and USA Follow-up the scientific achievements from former experiments Identification of additional research subjects additionally to the ones already established. Assessed wish list of facility upgrades Some implemented within recent months E.g. BTV screen for beam monitoring at experiment possible from this year Larger items like physical separation of HiRadMat operation and LHC filling is financially difficult Detailed summary in EDMS 1709921 BTV + containment 25/4/2017 A.

Feed-throughs Between TT61 and TNC Improving the signal quality at read-out Successfully used by all experiments in 2015 25/4/2017 A. Fabich

Publication by Nikos Electronics in TT61 During LS1, new location in TT61 with feed-through to TNC for direct cabling used by all experiments Specifications Maximum cable length/optical path: 15 m From electronics to target center Optical path each up- and downstream Similar prompt radiation levels as in TJ7 bunker Thick target, 3e12 ppp 10e6 hadrons/cm2 for full intensity pulse no Bat/RadMon available Additional shielding implemented (September 2015): concrete replaced by iron, radiation shielding more than a factor 10 Optional counter measures: Increase distance (additional optical path/cable length) old configuration Publication by Nikos 25/4/2017 A.

Injectors to HiRadMat in 2015 Accumulated SPS cycle time: 4.0 days Total intensity extracted: 3.7e15 pot Excellent performance of the injectors providing beams with large flexibility, in the largest intensity range for multi-bunch pulses. All planned beams provided. 2012: 2 days, 1.4e16 pot Courtesy V. Kain 25/4/2017 A. Fabich

Dismantling WANF – 2nd stage An tremendous work was done during clearing for HiRadMat 2009-2011 Now aiming a big step further Dismantling WANF 2nd stage – DW2 Project goal put WANF downstream TNC into safe and clean state recuperate unnecessary material including activated items until LS2/LS3 Technical documents HRM-EAM 16/11/16 EDMS 1730735 overview EDMS 1771615 disk recuperation (failed so far) 25/4/2017 A.
