HiRadMat Low Intensity Beam Commissioning

Abstract

On Wednesday 22 June 2011, proton beam was sent for the first time through the HiRadMat primary beam line, onto the beam dump located in the HiRadMat experimental cavern. The aims of the beam commissioning were to check the beam line geometry and design validity, the correct functioning of all beam line equipment and to verify the beam parameters. At the first trial, the proton beam reached the end of the primary beam line and the preliminary checks allowed confirming that all beam equipment and parameters are within the specification
