Abstract

Experiments planned at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will require a well-equipped test area with low momentum (<15 Gev/c) secondary particle beams. These beams will be used to test some of the LHC detectors components (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, LHC-B). In addition another recently approved experiment (DIRAC) will be installed in the PS East Area. This experiment will require a primary proton beam of 24 GeV/c to test QCD predictions. In this context, the EHNL project (East Hall New Look) has been launched. The major modifications include (i) an extension of the present area with a primary 24 GeV/c beam line, (ii) a new secondary beam line layout with test areas at 3.5, 7, 10 and 15 GeV/c, (iii) an additional irradiation area, (iv) an improved facility for beam sharing between the various users. This paper describes the scope of the project, its new features, the planned facilities and its installation schedule
