TARGET HALL OVERVIEW I. Bailey Cockcroft Institute / University of Liverpool

Recap of Talks from RAL Positron Source Meeting, Sep Andriy Ushakov, DESY FLUKA simulations with simple target geometry. For baseline design, equivalent dose rate for a Ti ( W) alloy target wheel, 1 week after shutdown, after 5000 hours of running, 1m from wheel is ~170 (120) mSv/h NB 65m (43m) of undulator assumed (shorter than baseline). Reduction to level of 0.03mSv/h requires ~15cm of Pb shielding EU exposure limit is 20mSv/year See presentation in tomorrow’s target session. Remote-handling needed (c.f. 20mSv/h manual worker limit at LHC)

Tim Broome, RAL –Remote-handling orientation (vertical / horizontal) –Replacement strategy (modular / component) –Required time for exchanging targets? Recap of Talks from RAL Positron Source Meeting, Sep 2006.

Handling Concepts - Horizontal Services remain connected, target moved to an integral remote handling cell for replacement. T. Broome, RAL, Sep 2006

Handling Concepts - Vertical Services disconnected and target removed to a storage facility. Later can be worked on in a separate remote handling facility Smaller footprint than horizontal but transfer flasks are required T. Broome, RAL, Sep 2006

Comments on the proposed target design Remote Handling must be considered from the outset All service connections have to be remotely handled so choose a system with a minimum of connections Consider radiation cooling (to eliminate problems with the water systems (seals etc) If water cooling is used why not drive the wheel with the water and eliminate the motor Instrumentation is often a key item and can be the life limiting and present a significant remote handling challenge It looks like remote vacuum connections will be required. For a mbar vacuum this will require development Definition of end of life of the target assembly is useful but very difficult T. Broome, RAL, Sep 2006

Chris Densham, RAL –The ISIS Horizontal layout used as starting point –Complete target and services system to be on rails and moved in and out of the beam –Vertical installation may have some advantages (space, cost) but likely to be slower to change targets (days or weeks - not hours) Recap of Talks from RAL Positron Source Meeting, Sep 2006.

Progress Since RAL meeting More sophisticated activation simulations interfacing FLUKA to ASTRA, etc (see Andriy Ushakov’s presentation) More sophisticated FLUKA input geometry (L. Fernandez-Hernando, ASTeC, DL) Cost driven decision to adopt smaller target hall Vertical remote-handling concept (c.f. SNS and PSI) developed by RAL Fortnightly remote-handling and activation phone meetings started.

5 cell rf cavity. e.g. s/c OMD Target wheel (includes water channel) L. Fernandez-Hernando,DL, 25/01/2007 Drive shaft (includes water channel) Target Geometry Drawn in SimpleGEO A few glitches found in exporting geometries between SimpleGEO and FLUKA. Should be able to begin simulations in a few weeks.
