The DAFNE Beam Test Facility (BTF)


The DAFNE Beam-Test Facility (BTF) is a beam transfer line designed for the optimized, stochastical production of single electrons/positrons for detector calibration purposes, or the extraction of the DAFNE LINAC electron/positron beam. Beam characteristics (spot size, divergence, momentum resolution), are strongly depended by multiplicity (number of particles/spill) and energy requested. Energy range, pulse duration, beam intensity and duty cycle can be limited by DAFNE collider operation. BTF is part of the AIDA-2020 project in the EC Horizon 2020 Framework Program, WP15 (JRA3) - Upgrade of the beam and irradiation tests infrastructure. http://aida2020.web.cern.ch BTF is part of the ASI-ENEA-INFN agreement ASIF - ASI Supported Irradiation Facilities http://www.asif.asi.it		BTF-1 beam-line parameters From 2019, a second beam-line (BTF-2) will be available to the users with similar parameters, but maximum 10⁶ particles/s and energy limited by the selected momentum on the BTF-1 line.
