| Abstract | On Wednesday 14 September and Monday 19 September 2011, high intensity proton beam was sent for the first time down the HiRadMat primary beam line (thereafter TT66), onto the beam dump located in the HiRadMat experimental cavern. This high intensity beam commissioning followed a first period of low intensity beam commissioning which took place in June 2011. During the low intensity beam commissioning, it was checked that all beam line equipment operated as specified. Energy matching and beam steering were performed; optics checks did not reveal any optical errors. Aperture measurements confirmed that there were no bottlenecks. Radiation protection monitoring worked as expected and the measurements were within expectation [1]. With the completion of the HiRadMat ventilation system, the high intensity beam commissioning could successfully continue in September 2011. The main outcome is reported in this note. |
