  Predicting by simulations the consequences of LHC particle beams hitting Collimators and other Beam Intercepting Devices (BID) is a fundamental issue for machine protection: this can be done by resorting to highly non-linear numerical tools (Hydrocodes). In order to produce accurate results, these codes require reliable material models that, at the extreme conditions generated by a beam impact, are either imprecise or nonexistent. To validate relevant constitutive models or, when unavailable, derive new ones, a comprehensive experimental test foreseeing intense particle beam impacts on six different materials, either already used for present BID or under development for future applications, is being prepared at CERN HiRadMat facility. Tests will be run at medium and high intensity using the SPS proton beam (440 GeV). Material characterization will be carried out mostly in real time relying on embarked instrumentation (strain gauges, microphones, temperature and pressure sensors) and on remote acquisition devices (Laser Doppler Vibrometer and High-Speed Camera). Detailed post-irradiation analyses are also foreseen after the cool down of the irradiated materials.

  Photo detachment is a possibility to diagnose non-destructively H ion beams. For emittance measurements, the produced neutrals are more suitable then the photo-detached electrons. Such a Photo-Detachment Emittance Measurement Instrument (PD-EMI) is planned for the Front End Test Stand (FETS) at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL/ UK). FETS comprises a Penning ion source of 60 mA beam current with up to 2 ms pulse length at 50pps, a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a four-vane RFQ with 3 MeV and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) with a chopper system. The PD-EMI will be integrated at the end of the MEBT to commission the RFQ which is currently under construction. The introduction gives an overview some results reached so far and explains the conceptual design. Beam simulations show how to implement this to the MEBT being under construction. The remaining paper concentrates then on the hardware which is the dipole magnet, the laser and optics. The design and and engineering of the magnet chamber needs special attention to both satisfy beam transportation and diagnostics purpose. First measurements about the laser and its parameters will be presented.

The beam physics group of Hiroshima University has developed non-neutral plasma traps dedicated solely to a wide range of beam dynamics studies. Those unique experimental tools approximately reproduce, in the laboratory frame, a many-body Coulomb system that is physically equivalent to a charged-particle beam observed in the center-of-mass frame. We have designed and constructed two different types of traps that employ either a radio-frequency electric quadrupole field or an axial magnetic field for transverse particle confinement. The former type is commonly referred to as "linear Paul trap" and the latter as "Penning trap". At present, three Paul traps and one Penning trap are operational while a new Penning trap for beam halo experiments is under construction. Each of these compact experimental facilities consists of a trap, many power supplies, a vacuum system, a computer control system, etc., and is called "S-POD (Simulator for Particle Orbit Dynamics)". S-POD is particularly useful for fundamental studies of high-intensity and high-brightness hadron beams. We here report on recent experimental outputs from S-POD and also briefly describe some future plans.
