8. HiRadMat Status Low Intensity beam commissioning • Wed. 22 June. First pilot sent reached the end of the beam line: • Energy matching and trajectory correction performed; • Check of: • Beam instrumentation response • Logging • Aperture measurement • Optics change • Radiation monitor response vital to check beam line components, instrumentation andoptics S.

9. HiRadMat Status Low Intensity beam commissioning: orthogonal steering The beam was steered independently in both planes within the range +/- 4 mm, as specified in the HiRadMat specs. (last BTV screen) S. EVRARD Courtesy of MalikaMeddahi

10. Stray radiation Monitoring Ventilation Monitoring PMI VGM - VAS PCM ERC EPIC IG5 HiRadMat Status Radiation monitoring • 1 x stray rad. Station(includes cabin + infrastructure) • Ventilation station • 8 x PMI monitors   (for the HIRADMAT area and the neighbouring tunnel, accurate position to be defined)         • 2 x IG5 monitors (hydrogen type), 1 x IG5 monitors (argon type) • 3 Alarm Units (UA)         • 1 x hand foot monitor          • 1 x material control monitor  BA7 TCC6 B.846 TT61 TNC S.

16. Experimental area Test zone in TNC – Base Tables C B A 3 positions are foreseen for the test object: stand A, B and C Base tables carryservices (water, signal, motorisation) Base tables arefixed to tunnel floorand aligned w.r.t. beam Test object will be onan interface table thatconnects to the base S. EVRARD

17. Experimental area Integration in tunnel Tables compatible with different sizes and types of test objects Installation of table is 100% remote Each access to TNC must be duly justified. They must be requested before the test table installation. Reminder: Test objects must be contained, cable feed-throughs and portholes must be tight After the cool-down time, the object will be transported to the surface and brought to an adapted (CERN-RP) lab for dismantling. HiRadMat project recovers the mobile table, the user is responsible for treatment of the test object. After the beam test, the test table will be moved remotely to a downstream location in TNC for a cool-down time defined by the radioprotection team. S. EVRARD

18. Experimental area Experimental area: Plug-in test • Tested equipment will be remotely handled • Crane driver training completed • 3 interface table ready • 5 additional ones in the pipeline S. EVRARD

19. Experimental area Services available in 2012 Tables A,B,C are all equipped Services available in irradiation area In 2012 • Plug-in on base-table: • Cooling circuit (30kW, 3m3/h, 9bar) • Power (4 kV/2.5kA) • Signal cables (50V/2A e.g. for camera, motorization, vibration measurement ) On passage-side wall opposite to test stand: - Manual gas connector for neutral gas (He or N2 – on request) • In TA7- TJ7, at ~25m from test stands • Power (230V) • Signal rack for testing signal & motorisation connections S. EVRARD

20. Surface lab • Replica of test stand like in TNC • Preparation area for the experiment mounting, alignment, test with cables/readout • Base table has all connectors, signals read in control room • Test table is aligned (CERN surveyors) w.r.t. virtual beam • No radioactive objects allowed! S. EVRARD

21. Control Room All cables arrive there: 1 rack/stand + 1 rack for surface lab Beam terminal and info from SPS (beam control from CCC only) All exp. monitoring during beam test from control room Network and timing signal available S. EVRARD
