news and updates Room: https://zoom.us/j/94203887542?pwd=NERaQWRuaEdlQ0JaOFRiSm1DT09QUT09 the TC-Office is planning to meet, DSC by DSC, the DSLs and DSTCs of all DSCs to establish a direct link and learn about several aspects and needs from the point of view of the various DSCs. This is an invitation for one of these meetings. Please, note that we do not indent to start a new series of meetings: it will be a single event. Please, regard it as the kick-off event to establish a more close connection between the your DSC and the TC-Office. Later, we will get updated information by attending your DSC meetings. Here is a list (maybe incomplete) of topics to be considered in these meetings: - most relevant issues faced by the DSCs in technical matter, in relationships with Project and with the Collaboration bodies; - DSC internal organization: is it working smoothly or modifications are being considered; - workforce status and needs; - crosscutting needs (like: cooling, slow controls, monitoring, background information, ...): what is needed and when; - do the DSC feel the need of internal technical reviews? (also non ePIC experts can be invited as reviewers); when? about which aspects? These meeting are informal; there is no need to prepare dedicated material. If you consider it useful, please, feel free to extend the invitation to a few more collaborators in your DSC.

Room: https://zoom.us/j/94203887542?pwd=NERaQWRuaEdlQ0JaOFRiSm1DT09QUT09 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Irradiation Facilities Irradiation.Facilities@cern.ch Date: Thu, Feb 6, 2025 at 2:57 PM Subject: Call for experiments at CERN IRRAD proton irradiation facility in 2025 To: Cc: irrad-ps-staff (e-group of IRRAD team members) irrad-ps-staff@cern.ch Dear IRRAD Facility user, The run 2025 of the CERN proton irradiation facility (IRRAD) will start on Wed. 26 March 2025 and end mid-November 2025 for a total of 34 weeks. The proton beam at IRRAD has a momentum of 24 GeV/c, a standard gaussian beam-size of 12mm x 12mm FWHM and an average weekly intensity of ~1.7E16 p/cm^2 (on 10x10mm^2 area). The access to the IRRAD area is given once per week (Wednesday morning) to allow the installation/removal of large samples and experimental test setups. Installation of experiments on the irradiation tables requires dedicated support frames to be provided by the users. Moreover, depending on the experiment, an irradiation permit (PRP17) might be needed for your request be accepted. Please, note that this procedure may require several weeks to be completed. Samples aiming to cumulate very high fluence levels (>1E17 p/cm^2) need to be ready for irradiation at the beginning of the run. Requests for complex irradiation experiments (e.g. with online monitoring, low or cryogenic temperature, etc.) or for the irradiation of heavy materials should reach us not later than week 16, 2025. To submit requests for irradiation experiments, please follow these steps: Users need to be members of the irrad-ps-users e-group (subscribe here). The e-group is protected with the CERN Single Sign-On authentication. Users without a CERN account, need to log in with one of the alternative services provided in the authentication page: Organisation or institution account (if it exists in the eduGAIN list) External email - Guest access Social account Please, note that the e-group membership validation for new users may require some time (about 30min) and thus they won’t be authorized to log in the IRRAD Data Manager application immediately. Go to: https://cern.ch/idm Log in to the CERN Single Sign-On page with the e-mail you registered in the irrad-ps-users e-group, and you will get redirected to the IRRAD Data Manager home page; Press the button “Create Experiment” and fill the required details; After saving, you will receive a confirmation e-mail, and your request will be sent to the IRRAD facility coordinator. Please, note that the IRRAD facility is part of the EURO-LABS project aiming to provide to eligible users Transnational Access (TA) support. Please, check the information given in the confirmation e-mail to submit, if eligible, your EURO-LABS TA application for IRRAD. More information is available in the IRRAD Data Manager User Guide. Please, contact us at irrad.ps@cern.ch in case you experience problems with the registration of your experiment. The access to all IRRAD premises in the PS East Area are submitted to specific access rights, training and requirements listed here. Please, make sure to comply with all of these before coming to perform your experiment. Please note that the Radiation Protection training for Controlled Radiation Areas (in person at CERN) and a specific IRRAD safety course must be validated to be allowed to access the irradiation area (see here). Further Information and updates, when available, will be posted on the IRRAD Facility Website and via this e-group.
