CERN Test-Beam Facilities Database (original) (raw)

The Proton Synchrotron (PS) is a key component in CERN’s accelerator complex, where it usually accelerates either protons delivered by the Proton Synchrotron Booster or heavy ions from the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR).

The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is the second-largest machine in CERN’s accelerator complex. It takes particles from the PS and accelerates them to provide beams for the LHC, the NA61/SHINE and NA62 experiments, the COMPASS experiment.

The primary focus for CLEAR is general accelerator R&D and component studies for existing and possible future machines at CERN, based on a broad internal and external user community.
