Infrastructure What is (could be) provided • Counting houses (barracks) with racks and network connections • Beam instrumentation: • Scintillator for beam intensity measurement • XDWC for beam profile measurement • Threshold Cherenkov counter for particle ID • Scanning table (XSCA) – shared with SPS North Area users • Magnets - see slides later What is not there! • Infrastructure for large detectors – size of areas • Cryogenics The PS East Area ie-FP7

7. The SPS North Area EHN1 EHN2 (COMPASS) ECN3 (NA48) BA80 (ps building) BA81 (ps building) TCC2 access TCC2 targets (underground) CCC ie-FP7

8. Introduction • The proton beam (400 GeV/c) from SPS is slowly extracted to the North Area at LSS2 • The extracted beam is transported in the TT20 tunnel • 11% slope to arrive into TCC2 – then horizontal ; ~10m underground • The primary proton beam is split in three parts directed towards to the North Area primary targets: T2, T4 and T6 The SPS North Area 11% slope ie-FP7

9. Introduction The SPS North Area Beams • The three proton beams are directed onto the primary targets: • T2  H2 and H4 beam lines • T4  H6, H8, and P0 beam lines • T6  M2 beam line and Experimental Areas: • ECN3: underground experimental hall, can receive the primary proton beam with high intensity in ECN3 • EHN1: surface experimental hall, can receive secondary beams and/or attenuated primary proton beams • EHN2: surface experimental hall, receives the secondary beams or intense muon beam The SPS North Area ie-FP7

10. Experimental Areas • 6.5 Km of beam lines • About 1000 equipment installed The SPS North Area NA49 CALICE/ILC GLAST, DREAM, AMS,… CMS ALICE CERF/SC-RP CRYSTALS/LHC Coll. TOTEM LHCb ATLAS ie-FP7

11. User statistics The SPS North Area ie-FP7

12. The EHN1 beams • The SPS North Area was originally designed to house long-lasting experiments • demands for high quality of beams: high intensity, high energy, high resolution • In the recent years most of the users are “tests” • in particular of LHC detectors with permanent or “semi-permanent” BIG installations • several users from astroparticle experiments • The test users have very different requirements from the big experiments: • scan the full energy range ; typically [10, 300] GeV/c • with sometimes increased precision (linearity) requirements • use beams of all particle types {electrons, pions, protons, muons} • with as good as possible separation and identification • and, sometimes request high (or very high) rates and all that during the few (or even one!) week(s) of their allocated time! Rapidly changing environment, quite demanding on beam conditions and tunes The SPS North Area ie-FP7
