The NEPIR (NEutron and Proton Irradiation) facility at the SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project at LNL-INFN (Italy), is designed to serve as a unique fast neutron irradiation facility in Italy and a reference point for applied and basic science as well as industrial applications. Driven by the SPES cyclotron, which delivers 35-70 MeV protons at maximum currents of 500 μA,...
Neutron radiation fields around high-energy particle accelerator facilities or at high altitudes often have a broad energy distribution with significant component of neutrons with energies greater than 20 MeV. Reference fields with comparable conditions are desirable for the calibration of monitoring instruments and dosemeters to be used in these environments. In the present study, a suitable...
The Beam Dump Facility (BDF) at CERN is a new, general-purpose intensity-frontier experimental facility operating in beam-dump mode at the CERN SPS accelerator. It is designed to search for feebly interacting GeV-scale particles and to perform measurements in neutrino physics, serving the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment (SPSC-P-369).
The high-energy (400 GeV/c),...
