Access to the facility
Required Two distinct ADaMS permissions are necessary to access the IRRAD Facility for the irradiation experiments:
Optional For the storage area the following ADaMS permission may be required (access NOT required for standard irradiation experiments):
To access the proton irradiation area (Zone 1-to-3 classified as Controlled Radiation Area) you need to obtain a specific access permission. The procedure to follow is indicated below:
The access to the IRRAD proton area is given if:
To request authorization:
The authorization to access CERN restricted areas is requested in ADaMS using the Access Request Form. To be authorized to work in the IRRAD Facility you have to ask for the access permission: Irradiation facilities in East Area (IRRADS) in the ADaMS form. The Access Zone IRRADS is available under the "Permission" category. Once this procedure is completed, you have to wait that your request will be processed and finally authorized.
In addition to the above requirements, the IRRAD access is limited to the participants of a valid IMPACT activity. For 2024 these are:
Please contact IRRAD Facility Team to add your name to an exiting IMPACT activity or to create a new one for your experiment (if needed).
To request authorization:
Access to the control room (157 R-O26 classified as Supervised Radiation Area) is granted via an electronic lock activated by the personal CERN access card. An access autorization must be requested in ADaMS using the Access Request Form. To be authorized to access the IRRAD Counting Room (157 R-O26) you have to ask for the access permission: Control Room T8 IRRAD (0157-R-O26) in the ADaMS form. Once this procedure is completed, you have to wait that your request will be processed and finally authorized.
To use the electronic locks you MUST periodically badge your CERN card on validation stations. More information about the usage of electronic locks...
To request authorization:
