Experimental area16
3 positions are foreseen for the test object: stand A, B and C
Base tables carryservices (water, signal, motorisation)
Base tables arefixed to tunnel floorand aligned w.r.t. beam
Test object will be onan interface table thatconnects to the base
Test zone in TNC – Base Tables

Experimental area17 Integration in tunnel
Reminder: Test objects must be contained, cable feed-throughs and portholes must be tight
Installation of table is 100% remoteEach access to TNC must be duly justified. They must be requested before the test table installation.
Tables compatible with different sizes and types of test objects
After the beam test, the test table will be moved remotely to a downstream location in TNC for a cool-down time defined by the radioprotection team.
After the cool-down time, the object will be transported to the surface and brought to an adapted (CERN-RP) lab for dismantling. HiRadMat project recovers the mobile table, the user is responsible for treatment of the test object.
