• CERN-HiRadMat: Facility stopped because of the long shutdown at CERN. Following workshoporganised in 2019 at CERN, 12 letters of intents were received by different facilities around theworld which have formalized into 9 (+4 pending) beam time request for operation in 2021-2022.Potential new targets: 1987h extra Access Units / 44 extra Supported Users / 9 extra Projects
• GSI-UNILAC beam time run in 2019 was successful. The foreseen access units are already delivered within this run. Allocated beam time block for spring 2020 was canceled due to the Covid-19. All scheduled experiments will be re-evaluated and postponed to next beam time block (spring 2021).Potential new targets: 392h extra Access Units / 2 extra Projects

IC: Comparison of response in high radiation conditions of LHC type (ic08)
Ionization Chamber and LHC type (ic17) Ionization Chamber, the calibration
and understanding of space charge effects.
LIC: in certain regions of the LHC the Ionization chambers (BLMs) produces
such high signals that the electronics saturates making the system blind. The
reduction of active volume reduce the number of charges produced, decreasing
the sensitivity. Compare the two set of LICs
FIC: Designed for geometry considerations. Compare different orientation of
detectors, which corresponds to PSB installation
Monitors tested in 2017 and in 2018:• LHC type (ic08) Ionization Chamber: Active vol 1.5l, filling pressure 1.1
bar.
• LHC type (ic17) Ionization Chamber: Active vol1.5l, filling pressure 1.1 bar.
• Little Ionization Chamber (LICic) with IC ceramics (new): Active vol 0.05l,
filling pressure 1.1bar.
• Little Ionization Chamber (LIC) with SEM ceramics (LHC installed): Active
vol 0.05l, filling pressure 1.1bar.
• Flat Ionization Chamber (FIC): Active vol0.05l, filling pressure 1.1 bar.
Study of the signal linearity and response, calibration,
saturation, comparison of different types of BLMs

HRMT21: RotColl (SLAC USA, U. Malta)
• The SLAC RC was designed and built as part of the US-LARP collaboration.
• Scope in 2004: low-impedance secondary collimator capable of withstanding 7 TeV failures, to be installed as part of LHC Phase II collimation.
• Rotatable jaw concept: offers up to 20 collimating surfaces in case of beam damage.
Summary
• Rotation mechanism on the two jaws
still works after most intense
scenarios.
• No permanent welding of the two jaws
occurred.
• No leak on the cooling pipes was
detected (no pressure drop observed in
the system).
Goals of Experiment
• Demonstrate that the rotation functionality works for the
design failure at top energy:
• Asynchronous beam dump: 8 bunches @ 7 TeV
• Understand onset of damage for even more demanding
scenarios, e.g. LHC injection error: 288 bunches @ 450
GeV
• Integrity control of the cooling pipes under both impact and
jaw rotation.
• Check the eventual welding of the jaws in case of ejecta with
LHC-type aperture.

HiRadMat Upgrade Strategy
21ARIES 3rd Annual Meeting: WP10, Y. Kadi (CERN) & D. Severin (GSI),
22nd April 2020
Strategy 1 (low-level)Upgrade current surface lab proposal: Increase size of lab area to accommodate increased number of
users.
Increase surface space meaning 2 experiments can be fully accommodated at one time.
More storage, tools, working areas for users
Improve survey conditions
Improve space for transport logistics.
Strategy 2 (mid-level)New surface lab proposal Better accommodate array of different experiments entering
HiRadMat.
Possibility to temporally increase radiation protection classification to accommodate pre-irradiated experiments.
Lab design relevant for current (and anticipated future) needs –size, storage, table integrations, electronics, survey etc.)
Improved transport logistics (entering surface lab, installing in experimental area and exiting experimental area post-irradiation).
Strategy 3 (high-level)Upgrade experimental area to enable HL-LHC type beams Beam windows & dump studies required.
