LPROT preliminary dataTE/MPE/PEEN/STIEN/MMEHistory>8 yr ago. Simulations from N. Tahir and CERN pointed that a tunneling process happens when a high-intense high-dense beam interacts with matter. Verena & Rdiger experiment at SPS.Couple of years ago, SPS experiment idea.Last year, HiRadMat facility experiment request.

Diamond detector linearity
Detector signal versus beam intensityDiamond detector linearityDiamond detectors have a good linearity for a wide intensity range. Tested different bias voltage across the detectors and its influence on the signal.Other characteristics also understood and in process of understanding.

1.D. Proper correction (in progress)For target 1:Calculate the V for each bunch.Ratio between signal bunch(x)/bunch(3)Ration between FWHM bunch(x)/bunch(3)
For target 3:Calculate the V for each bunch.Look the correction coefficient from calibration in target 1.Look for the FWHM correction from calibration in target 1.3. Update simulations with experiment parameters (not yet started)3. Post-Irradiation Analysis (not yet started)After 3-4 months of cooling.Open the target and visually inspect it.Measure activation profile on the targetsIf activation is acceptable, take some samples to a lab and perform: Xrays or Ultrasounds.During this 3-4 months update simulations (FLUKA-BIG2) with updated beam parameters.Compare results with diamond signal and with updated simulations.Opening for inspection
