A Photo Gallery of the new PH Irradiation Facilities
This photo gallery shows a selection of detector components, materials, prototypes and samples tested at the PH Irradiation facilities during the past 13 years. Most of the samples shown in the pictures belong to the users from the PH experimental community: the LHC experiments as well as various R&D collaborations (mainly RD50).
Picture 01: Large area silicon detector – R&D (Shuttle IRRAD1).
Picture 02: High-purity silicon wafer – R&D. The dark colour trace on the sample holder corresponds to the irradiated area (Irradiation table IRRAD3).
Picture 03: Large area silicon detector – LHCb VELO. The dark colour trace on the sample holder corresponds to the irradiated area (Shuttle IRRAD1).
Picture 04: Electrical and optical components for detectors readout – ATLAS experiment (Irradiation table IRRAD3). On the background the IRRAD1 shuttle conduit is visible.
Picture 05: Electrical and optical components for detectors readout – ATLAS experiment (Shuttle IRRAD1: load position).
Picture 06: Setup for irradiations at low temperature (insulated box on irradiation table IRRAD7) and sample of scintillating fibres based tracker detector - LHCb experiment (top of the box).
Picture 07: Crystal samples with absorbers of different materials – CMS experiment (Shuttle IRRAD1).
Picture 08: set of crystals for electromagnetic calorimeter on a special irradiation support - CMS experiment (Irradiation table IRRAD3).
Picture 09: calorimeter sample – LHCb experiment (Irradiation table IRRAD3).
Picture 10: carbon fibre material test sample – LHCb experiment (Shuttle IRRAD1).
Picture 11: tensioned ropes test samples – LHCb experiment (Shuttle IRRAD1).
Picture 12: smoke detectors – LHC (Shuttle IRRAD2).
Picture 13: silicon detectors with front-end electronics – ATLAS Experiment (irradiated at -15ºC on the irradiation table IRRAD7).
