The Beam Test Facility of the National Laboratories of Frascati
Le résumé fourni par la source
The Beam Test Facility (BTF) at the National Laboratories of Frascati provides highly configurable positron/electron beams for different type of experiments. Extracted from the DAΦNE LINAC, the beam delivers up to 49 bunches/s, with 1 to $10^{10}$ particles/bunch. Secondary beams span 25-780 MeV (electrons) and up to 550 MeV (positrons). BTF includes two experimental halls: BTFEH1, suited for high-intensity and long-term experiments, and BTFEH2, optimized for lower intensities (up to 10⁶ particles/s). Both halls feature remote-controlled movable tables, beam diagnostics, and essential services like laser alignment, networking, high-voltage support, and gas pipelines, ensuring comprehensive experimental capabilities and 24/7 user support. A notable strength of BTF lies in the user-friendly approach: beam is easily manipulated to meet users' specific needs, even during ongoing data collection. In this talk the upgrades concerning the development of a new control system based on Epik8s (EPICS on Kubernates) will be reported as well as the new improvement in beam dimension and energy loss concerning the substitution of the 500 $\mu$m BeO exit window with 120 $\mu$m Anticorodal one.
