CERN has a unique set of experimental areas that can provide a wide spectrum of particle beams for FT experiments and R&D projects
The SBA team is responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of the beam lines, downstream of the primary targets. The team is responsible for the liaison with the users of these facilities and it provides support for their installation and infrastructure. The Operations Group is responsible for the operation of all CERN Accelerators and their associated Experimental Areas. The Physic department is responsible for the coordination (Sps Coordinator), Users Schedule and for the safety for experiences.
