A Few Words from our Team Irradiation

• The IRRAD facilities will be closed during LS2, GIF++ is instead operational for gamma irradiations only.

The irradiation team within the EP-DT-DD section operates and maintains the proton Irradiation facility at the PS East Area and the Gamma Irradiation Facility located at the former SPS West Area. Moreover, the team provides support to the EP department and CERN users in planning irradiation experiments at the above mentioned CERN facilities and organizes irradiation campaigns in facilities outside CERN upon request. During LS1, the irradiation facilities team is also involved in the upgrade projects of both the PS East Area irradiation facilities (EA-IRRAD) and the new Gamma Irradiation Facility as the SPS North Area (GIF++).
