Abstract
The High Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility at PSI
routinely produces a proton beam with up to 1.4 MW power at
a kinetic energy of 590 MeV. The beam is used to generate
neutrons in spallation targets, and pions in meson production targets.
The pions decay into muons and neutrinos. Pions and muons are used for condensed matter and particle physics research at the intensity frontier.
This section presents the main physics and technology concepts
utilized in the facility. It includes beam dynamics and
the control of beam losses and activation, power
conversion, efficiency aspects, and performance figures, including the
availability of the facility.
