Abstract:

"HiRadMat is a unique facility at CERN, providing a high-energy, high-intensity, LHC-type beam to study beam–matter interactions under extreme conditions. Since the start of operations in 2012, the facility has hosted more than 50 experiments, ranging from material R&D for accelerator components to beam diagnostics and experimental astrophysics, and now serves as CERN’s reference test beam facility for high-intensity studies. As a result, many components currently in use at CERN and at accelerator facilities worldwide were first tested at HiRadMat.
