CHARM

The CERN Highly-Accelerated Mixed Field Facility (CHARM) at CERN is a facility for testing radiation effects on electronics like no others. The proton beam is obtained in spills with an intensity of approximately 5 × 10¹¹ protons and a duration of around 350 ms from the Proton Synchrotron (PS) of the CERN accelerator complex and has a momentum of 24 GeV/c. The spill is repeated around three times during a super-cycle of 45 seconds. For more information, see https://r2e.web.cern.ch/about-radiation/test-facilities/charm.
