2. Scientific scope 2  Study the impact of intense pulsed beams on materials  Thermal management (heating) material damage even below melting point material vaporization (extreme conditions)  Radiation damage to materials – change of properties  Thermal shock - beam induced pressure waves  Test bed, important for the design validation of LHC near-beam components before installation in the machine  Requires LHC-type SPS beam (450 GeV/c) from pilot to 288 nominal bunches  Foreseen clients : LHC collimators, protection devices, machine components, R&D material studies (bulk, superconductors), high- power targetry, test of vacuum components (beam windows, coating), …  Cross-check beam damage simulation tools (calculation/real world) Essential purpose
