Abstract

A test facility is essential for effective research and development of high-performance particle detectors. Such a facility requires not only a specific particle beam with variable momenta and intensities but also an infrastructure including several detectors for beam control and peripherals. A novel test beam line, as well as its infrastructure, for such detector performance tests is conceptually suggested for use at heavy ion accelerator facilities in Korea, and the detector test beam lines at the PS (proton synchrotron) in CERN are introduced.
