Test Beam Capabilities in the Booster Accelerator Beamline-R at BNL
ORAL
Abstract
Over the next decade, there will be very limited test beam availability for particle detector tests within US and around the world. At the same time, new detector designs and prototypes need to be tested urgently to feedback into long term technical decisions in projects such as the ePIC detectors at EIC, and the HL-LHC detectors.
Although originally designed for radio-biology beam tests, with proton beams up to 2.5 GeV kinetic energy and flux up to 2E11 protons per 4.8 sec-spill, slow extracted beam in beamline-R is ideally suited for particle detector tests as well, i.e. for charge particle tracking detectors and read-out electronics tests under extreme operation conditions such as in high particle flux and high background radiation environments, and for assessments of radiation hardness for detectors and electronics, etc. Several recent developments and efforts will be presented.
