The present GIF in the West Area 3 Present GIF installed in former West Area Since 2004 secondary (muon) beam de-commissioned Since then only of limited use for physics Limited photon yield (137Cs, 650 GBq installed in `90s) Limited space for increasing number of users GIF will be decommissioned with the new GIF++ being operational. 03/10/2013A.

Secondary muon beam 11 From T2 target 99% of beam are within 10 cm x 10 cm, remainder spread over 1 m 2 Main user mode: couple of periods per year with each about two weeks duration Parasitic mode with muons: as much as possible (based on experience from previous years, one can expect parasitic muon beams for about 30-50% of the beam time, equivalent to about 2-4 months/year). Few periods per year of approximately two weeks duration in which a beam pipe is installed within the facility and electron beam is taken by CMS ECAL downstream from GIF++ 03/10/2013A. Fabich, EN-MEF-LE

General infrastructure 12 Electricity: 50 kW light (+emergency) Ethernet cabling, cable trays demineralised water NO cryogenics Beam equipment Beam instrumentation Gases Neutral and mixtures (containing flammable gases) 15 gas supplies from the gas hut (build. 909) 10 patch panels in bunker/preparation zone Each for 4 neutral and 4 hazardous gases Cooling and ventilation Optional Supply lines should mainly be installed in the raised floor. 03/10/2013A.

22
GIF++ irradiation zone 22 The irradiation zone hosting the irradiator is a controlled area (PPE154). inside a supervised area (EHN1). No risk of activation due to low intensities of secondary beam Presence of high intensity photon source requires additional precautions due to the prompt radiation levels: Extended shielding Access system Entrance chicanes 03/10/2013A. Fabich, EN-MEF-LE
23
Radiation levels 23 Keeping lateral exterior limit well below 3 Sv/h At least 80 cm concrete Accordingly adapted chicanes Roof (no stay area) shielding adjusted for < 15 Sv/h Final design based on these conceptual shielding studies 03/10/2013A.

Operational controls 26 Users’ interface: CESAR For personnel access and beam control Standard HW/SW integration into SBA controls environment Access controls Beam controls Safety elements Irradiator provided with its own console. Only link to SBA controls via veto line and status logging. 03/10/2013A. Fabich, EN-MEF-LE
27
Safety conditions for active irradiator 27 Exclude direct exposure to -source Source out of parking position only possible if GIF++ access chain is CLOSED AND (protecting in upstream zone) Upstream beam dump is IN-BEAM OR PPE144 is CLOSED (no access) AND (protecting in downstream zone) Downstream beam dump is IN-BEAM OR PPE164 is CLOSED (no access) AND (no alarms) No fire No power failure No emergency stop button Irradiator controls included in industrial delivery. Veto from CERN safety chain will force source into parking position. 03/10/2013A. Fabich, EN-MEF-LE upstream dump downstream dump
28
Conclusions 28 3D model of GIFF++ is available Require design documents of irradiator+filter system Approved status CERN will study the mechanical integration 03/10/2013A. Fabich, EN-MEF-LE
