Abstract: (Elsevier)
The DAFNE Beam Test Facility (BTF), operational in Frascati LNF since November 2002, is a beam transfer line optimized for single particle production, mainly for high-energy detectors calibration. It can provide e − / e + beams in a wide range of intensity – between single particle and 10 10 particles/pulse – and energy, from few tens of MeV up to 800 MeV; the pulse duration can also be adjusted between 1 and 10 ns at a maximum repetition rate of 50 Hz. In the last year many groups have accessed the facility, for testing a number of apparata: silicon detectors, calorimeters, scintillator counters, GEM (in single particle mode); fluorescence counters, crystal and nanotube bendings, Cerenkov counters, thermo-acoustical detectors (at high intensity). The large beam multiplicity range required to implement different diagnostic devices: calorimeters for particle counting at low intensity, fluorescence chambers and Cerenkov detectors for intermediate-high intensity monitor, up to standard beam diagnostic systems. The beam spot profile and position is also measured by means of a x - y scintillating fiber hodoscope with multi-anode PMT readout.References(5)
