Risultati finali

Documents, reports (8)

Calibrated CERN beam instrumentation documented and installed in the accelerator

This report will include the methodology and application case studies of the whole set of instrumentation that is used to characterize the beam along the CHARM beamline and up to the device under test. In addition, the report will provide the final list of instrumentation installed in the CHARM beamline along with the technical characteristics, operation principles and calibration values.

Modelling of shielding materials and configurations for test setup standardisation

This report will include the simulation of the beamline with different shielding materials to offer the users different configurations for testing space-qualified materials exposed to cosmic rays.

Definition of extraction methodology for parallel use of the heavy ion beamline for different energies

This report will include the methodology that has been followed by the Proton Synchrotron (PS) operators and beam physicists to enable the parallel low-rigidity operation of the CHARM beamline to that at the standard, higher rigidity available. In this respect, the report will detail the beam optics and instrumentation used as well as the various settings needed to achieve the required energies and LETs.

Demonstration of the achievements in terms of beam parameters (energy, LET, range, size)

This report will include the data that demonstrates that the technical achievement for the CHARM beamline and the TRL upgrade have been achieved. This will include all measurements from instrumentation required to demonstrate that the energy (70-2000 MeV/n), LET (10-40 MeV/(mg/cm2)), range (> 1 mm in Silicon) and size of the beam (up to 20x20 cm2) comply with the initial requirements stated for TRL6-7.

Finalised list of beam parameter requirements concurring to establish a TRL 6-7 for the CHARM facility

This report will provide the final list of VHE ion beam parameters that are appropriate to award a TRL6-7 to both CHARM and GSI facilities. This will include the most appropriate ion types, energies, LETs, ranges, beam time availability as well as commercial conditions of access for industry.

Beam instrumentation for high-energy low intensity heavy ion beam characterization

An Excel list will be created including all the characteristics of the beamline instrumentation sued at Cave A/GSI. This will be a useful list for comparison with CERN/CHARM instrumentation.

Communication and dissemination plan

The plan will include the communication means established by the consortium to handle internal data exchange as well as towards the external stakeholders, from radiation effects experts up to the general public. CERN resource and collaboration tools will be preferably used.

Numerical characterization of the CHARM beamline and of detector response

This report will include detailed simulation data and results of the transport of the VHE ion beam throughout the CHARM beamline from the PS extraction to the device under test. In addition, the radiation response of the detectors used to calibrate and perform the dosimetry and characterization of the beam will also be provided and will guide the final choice of the most appropriate detectors to be employed.

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (2)

GCR/SPE simulator setup

This is a demonstrator of the setup, including all monitors, tracklers, and range modulator

GCR/SPE simulator optimizer software

This is a demonstrator of the software for GCR/SPE simulation. The software will produce the beam attenuator giving as input the GCR/SPE spectrum.

Data Management Plan (1)

Exploitation and data management plan

The plan will include the tools and means used to store the data collected during the project and to render them available to the scientific community and the industrial users. Knowledge transfer procedures will also be implemented.
