About FTBF
The Fermilab Test Beam Facility (FTBF) is a Particle Physics Division operated, high energy beam facility devoted to Detector R & D. The Facility is located on the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory site in Illinois, USA, on the west side of the Meson Detector Building.
The goal of the Fermilab Test Beam Program is to provide flexible, equal and open access to test beams for all detector tests, with relatively low bureaucratic overhead and a guarantee of safety, coordination and oversight.
The facility consists of two versatile beamlines (MTest and MCenter) in which users can test equipment or detectors.
The MTest primary beamline consists of a beam of high energy protons (120 GeV) at moderate intensities (~1-300 kHz). This beam can also be targeted to create secondary, or even tertiary particle beams of energies down to below 1 GeV, consisting of pions, muons, and/or electrons.
The MCenter beamline is very similar to the MTest beamline but is currently undergoing reconstruction.
Beam time is available to qualified users for up to 14 hours a day, from 0400 to 1800 (4am - 6pm).
