Characterization of Degraded Very-High-Energy Heavy-Ion Beams Using the HEARTS LET Booster / Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN ; U. Zurich (main)) ; de La Ruë Du Can, Odile (Unlisted, FR) ; Klimek, Karolina (CERN) ; Alía, Rubén García (CERN)
Very-high-energy (VHE) heavy ions are particularly relevant for single-event effects (SEEs) testing due to their unique combination of high linear energy transfer (LET) and substantial penetration depth in electronic components, removing the need for vacuum testing and component delidding. The High-Energy Accelerators for Radiation Testing and Shielding (HEARTS) project addresses the growing demand for these types of beams by leveraging the CERN accelerator complex and its use of heavy ions for physics studies and adapting it to radiation testing of electronics.

Development and characterization of large area LGADs for space applications / Cavazzini, L (Trento U. ; Fond. Bruno Kessler, Trento) ; Bisht, A (Trento U.) ; Boscardin, M (Trento U.) ; Centis Vignali, M (Trento U.) ; Ficorella, F (Trento U.) ; Fernandez Garcia, M (CERN ; Cantabria Inst. of Phys.) ; Hammad Alì, O (Trento U.) ; Moll, M (CERN) ; Paternoster, G (Trento U.) ; Wiehe, M (CERN)
Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) are silicon detectors that use the impact ionization process to achieve gain values of about O(10) and timing resolution of O(30 ps) to detect Minimum Ionizing Particles. In High Energy Physics, the state-of-the-art LGADs foreseen for timing layers feature an active thickness of 50 µm and a channel size in the order of O(1 mm$^{2}$). [...]

ALICE - ITS3 — A bent, wafer-scale CMOS detector / Kluge, A (CERN) /ALICE Collaboration
During the LHC Long Shutdown 3, ALICE is upgrading its inner three silicon tracker layers with a bent wafer-scale monolithic pixel detector, the ITS3. Each layer comprises only two wafer-scale sensors, 27 cm long, 50μm thick, bent to concentric half-layers around the beam pipe (radii: 19, 25, 32 mm) supported by carbon foam stiffeners. [...]

Beam delivery of high-energy ion beams for irradiation experiments at the CERN Proton Synchrotron / Johnson, Eliott (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN) ; Imesch, Gil (CERN) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Delrieux, Marc (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Arrutia Sota, Pablo Andreas (CERN) ; Garcia Alia, Ruben (CERN) ; Bass, Thomas (CERN)
Heavy-ion single event effect (SEE) test facilities are critical in the development of microelectronic components that will be exposed to the ionizing particles present in the hostile environment of space. CHARM High-energy Ions for Micro Electronics Reliability Assurance (CHIMERA) and HEARTS have developed a high-energy ion beam capable of scanning a wide range of Linear Energy Transfer (LET) at low intensities to study ionization effects on space-bound technology using CERN's Proton Synchrotron (PS).

ENUBET: A monitored neutrino beam for high precision cross section measurements / Torti, Marta (INFN, Milan Bicocca) ; Acerbi, Fabio (Fond. Bruno Kessler, Trento) ; Angelis, Ioannis (Aristotle U., Thessaloniki) ; Bomben, Luca (Insubria U., Como ; INFN, Milan Bicocca) ; Bonesini, Maurizio (INFN, Milan Bicocca) ; Bramati, Filippo (INFN, Milan Bicocca ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Branca, Antonio (INFN, Milan Bicocca ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Brizzolari, Claudia (INFN, Milan Bicocca ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Brunetti, Giulia (INFN, Milan Bicocca ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Calviani, Marco (CERN) et al.
The main source of systematic uncertainty on neutrino cross section measurements at the GeV scale is represented by the poor knowledge of the initial flux. The goal of cutting down this uncertainty to 1% can be achieved through the monitoring of charged leptons produced in association with neutrinos, by properly instrumenting the decay region of a conventional narrow-band neutrino beam.

Optimisation of integrated luminosity in a circular collider with application to the LHC Run 2 / Capoani, F (INFN, Bologna ; Bologna U. ; CERN) ; Bazzani, A (Bologna U.) ; Giacobbe, B (INFN, Bologna) ; Giovannozzi, M (CERN)
Circular collider designs are tailored to maximise luminosity delivered to experimental detectors, effectively utilising the charged beams that have been accelerated for collisions. In reality, the key metric for the effective operation of a circular collider is the integrated luminosity provided to the experiments, which can significantly differ from the theoretical capability regarding instantaneous luminosity of the accelerator.

The CERN SPS Low Level RF feedback with amplitude and frequency modulation / Hagmann, Gregoire (CERN) ; Spierer, Arthur (CERN) ; Egli, Julien (CERN) ; Baudrenghien, Philippe (CERN)
The CERN SPS Low Level RF (LLRF) has undergone a major upgrade, including the complete redesign of the 200 MHz Cavity-Controllers [1,2] and the Beam-Control [3]during the Long Shutdown two (LS2) in 2018-21. Two major goals motivated the upgrade, first the required doubling of the proton beam intensity injected from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) for the High Luminosity Large HadronCollider (HL-LHC) project, second the implementation of the slip-stacking of two families of ions bunches, 100 ns spacing, to generate a 50 ns spacing after interleaving.

Overview of the radiation levels in the CERN accelerator complex after LS2 / Canesse, Auriane (CERN) ; Zimmaro, Alessandro (CERN) ; Prelipcean, Daniel (CERN) ; Ricci, Daniel (CERN) ; Di Francesca, Diego (CERN) ; Lerner, Giuseppe (CERN) ; Garcia Alia, Ruben (CERN) ; Danzeca, Salvatore (CERN)
The PSB, PS, and SPS accelerators at CERN provide high-energy proton and ion beams to a wide range of experiments, from fixed targets to the world’s biggest particle accelerator: the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In 2021 and 2022, their beams have reached unprecedented intensities thanks to the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) undertaken during the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) in preparation of the High-Luminosity (HL) LHC era.

Dual-scattering foil installation at CLEAR / Robertson, Cameron (Oxford U.) ; Aksoy, Avni (Ankara U.) ; Bateman, Joseph (Oxford U.) ; Corsini, Roberto (CERN) ; Dosanjh, Manjit (CERN) ; Farabolini, Wilfrid (CERN) ; Gerbershagen, Alexander (Groningen U.) ; Korysko, Pierre (Oxford U.) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN) ; Malyzhenkov, Alexander (CERN) et al.
The CLEAR facility at CERN allows users to receive an electron beam with energy up to 200 MeV, allowing flexibility in intensity, beam size and bunch structures. Separate from the main CERN accelerator complex, it is capable of hosting numerous experiments with rapid installations at two test stands.It would be highly desirable for many applications, but particularly those of a medical nature, to be able to provide a ‘flat’ beam at CLEAR, with a uniform intensity distribution over a significant component of its transverse dimensions.
