TOF beam performance in 2018

TOF2018

 

In 2018, we delivered 2.31x10^19 protons to the nTOF experiment - 6.5% over the prediction for the 2018 run!

Mandate

The PS section is responsible for operation of the Proton Synchrotron, as well as the AD and Elena outside of normal hours.

  • Constructed in 1959
  • Circumference 628 meters, or pi*200
  • Injection at 2 GeV
  • Extraction up to 26 GeV
  • Intensity per beam up to 3x10^13 protons
  • Beam for n_TOF, AD, East area and SPS
  • Part of LHC injector chain

 

Other tasks for the section members include writing application software, assisting with machine development, access control in the PS complex, and more.
