| Abstract | The East Area at the Proton Synchrotron is one of CERN’s longest running facilities for experiments, beam tests, and irradiations with a successful history of over 55 years. The facility serves more than 20 user teams for about 200 days of running each year and offers mixed secondary hadron, electron and muon beams of 0.5 GeV/c to 10 GeV/c. In addition, the primary proton beam or ion beam is transported to the irradiation facilities CHARM and IRRAD. Due to the steadily high user demand, the CERN management approved an upgrade and renovation of the facility to meet future beam test and physics re- quirements. New beam optics will assure a better trans- mission and purity of the secondary beams, now also with the possibility of pure electron, hadron or muon beams. The upgrade includes a pulsed powering scheme with energy recovering power supplies and new laminated magnets, reducing both power and cooling requirements. Together with the building consolidation, this results in considerably lower energy consumption. The renovation phase is scheduled mostly during the technical stops be- tween 2019 and 2020. We will give an overview of the project scope including upgrades and future beams. |
