  16. TBID 2 IonCh L/R TBID + 2 Ionization Chambers Purpose: • Check efficiency with which protons are converted into secondaries • Multiplicity (Compare with BFCT upstream of the target) • Misalignment of the Beam Ionization Chamber used as back-up 2.

  17. TBID TBID Monitor ● Secondary emission monitor ● 12 µm Ti foils ● better than 10-4 mbar vacuum 2. Sec. Beam Instrumentation E. Gschwendtner, CERN AB/ATB

  18. Cross-Hair observed by 2 IonCh L/R Monitors Cross-Hair + 2 Ionization Chambers Motivation for cross-hair and 2 ionization chambers • CNGS proton beam direction is important • additional, more accurate information on proton beam angle (works only without target and with horn/reflector off) • angular accuracy achieved by BPMs (11 m apart) is limited • target chamber is > 100 m long… bigger lever arm • additional “active” detector is difficult / expensive →NuMI/Fermilab invention 2. Sec. Beam Instrumentation E. Gschwendtner, CERN AB/ATB

  19. beam Cross-hair beam view (schematic) Monitors Cross-Hair • Layout: • 4mm wide • appendix 10mm long • 20mm thick along the beam-axis Installation slightly off-axis (10mm): • gives the sign of the offset • avoids over-heating the metal when beam on axis 2. Sec. Beam Instrumentation E. Gschwendtner, CERN AB/ATB

  20. Muon Monitors • Monitoring of: • muon intensity • muon beam profile shape • muon beam profile centre • Muon intensity: • Up to 7.7x107 per cm2 and 10.5µs • Monitors: • 2 muon detectors with each 17 fixed monitors + 1 movable monitor (ionization chambers) 2. Sec. Beam Instrumentation E. Gschwendtner, CERN AB/ATB

  21. µ Muon Monitor Layout • 17 fixed monitors (Ionization Chambers) • Possibility to double number of monitors • 1 movable chamber behind fixed monitors for relative calibration • Movement by stepping motors BLMs (Beam Loss Monitors for LHC) • Parallel electrodes separated by 0.5 cm • Stainless steel cylinder • Al electrodes • N2 gas filling at 100 mbar over pressure • Diameter=8.9cm, length=60cm, 1.5 litre 2.

  37. Radiological Issues • Beam on: • < 100Sv/h outside the horn shielding • < 2Sv/h in service gallery • Beam off- immediately afterwards • 100mSv/h For intervention: dose rate < 2mSv/intervention (CERN rule) Examples: • 1 week shutdown to change a motor of the target • 1 month shutdown to exchange the horn • Only possible because most is remotely handled! Access is controlled with ‘radiation veto’! E. Gschwendtner, CERN AB/ATB 3. Commissioning Steps

  47. CNGS Performance For CNGS performance, the main issues are • the geodesic alignment wrt. Gran Sasso • the beam must hit the target very accurately !! • for target resistance and environmental reasons! Examples: effect on ντ cc events horn off axis by 6mm < 3% reflector off axis by 30mm < 3% proton beam on target < 3% off axis by 1mm CNGS facility misaligned < 3% by 0.5mrad (beam 360m off) E.
