The road to CHIMERA passes by GSI
GSI Cave A and R2E team The R2E team in SY-STI-BMI travelled to GSI (Darmstadt, Germany) for a test campaign with high-energy ions in the context of RADNEXT. The high-energy ions available at GSI have similar characteristics to the Pb beams under development at CERN through the CHIMERA project and allowed to collect meaningful benchmarks for the characterization of these future CERN beams.

NEAR Irradiation Station for R2M
NEAR robot A new parasitic, mixed-field, neutron-dominated irradiation station has been commissioned at CERN in June 2021. The station is installed at the NEAR area of the Neutron Time-Of-Flight (n_TOF) facility, taking advantage of the intense secondary radiation produced by the neutron spallation target.
