3 Target conversion tool withstand the power of multi-MW proton machines
Target melting Target vaporization Beam-induced pressure waves Radiation damage Today we use/study solid and liquid targets. Solid targets not viable beyond 1MW proton power. 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

4 Primary Target Configuration
Contained SNS, ESS, MegaPie, … Hot issues: - cavitation - corrosion - beam window Free Surface Super-beam, -factory, … Hot issues: - violent explosion - mechanical challenge - Less experience R&D at Oakridge (US), Juelich (D), Villigen (CH), … 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

5 Liquid Targets with free surface

11 Power Supply Concentrates on evaluating a solution “available” at CERN (C.Martins): power supply Alice/LHCb 950 V, 7200 A size: ~10 m x 4 m x 3m, 40 tons installed in six pieces transformer (TRASFOR, IT), converter (Schneider Elec., FR) price/piece: 400 kChF to be installed in ISR Recently “old” WA power supply found, which needs refurbishment - evaluation ongoing 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

14 Mercury target System contains Mercury loop Motor optical diagnostics
Double containment Pump Reservoir Motor optical diagnostics 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

15 Diagnostics Optical System Particle detector
Direct observation of jet behavior Particle detector Interaction efficiency Primary Proton Beam intensity Beam position Magnetic field 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

16 Optical diagnostics Fiber panels provide illumination
Optical fiber bundles transport the image to a high speed camera 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

17 Cavitation in Liquid targets
Cavitation was already “observed” at ISOLDE Unfortunately only indirect observation by splash velocity No observation of sec.particle yield Does it reduce the secondary particle yield? Most probable not an issue for American NuFact design, but for facilities using “longer” pulses 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

18 Pump-probe method momentum p = 26 GeV/c
4 bunches within 8 PS buckets at our discretion tpulse= microseconds tbunch=50ns full length, peak-to-peak 250 ns spot size at target: ~1 mm r.m.s. Pump-Probe method for cavitation studies measure interaction efficiency by Disappearance of primaries Appearance of secondaries 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

19 Varied parameters parameters to vary:
Magnetic field (0-15 T) Pulse intensity ( p.o.t.) Pulse length (0.5-2 s) Spot size Beam position (5 mm) Total number of protons on target (no tuning): < (~100 pulses) Needs ~2 weeks of beam time Does not include time for beam tuning 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

27 Summary Studies on solid targets are ongoing, but these are not suitable for a beam power >1.5 MW Step-by-step R&D on liquid jet targets has been very successful. needed proof-of-principle test jet target in a magnetic field exposed to a proton beam B = 0 Tesla corresponds to target option for e.g. super-beam, Eurisol, …. TT2A is a highly suitable location Major technical and safety issues have been discussed and positively concluded Waiting approval of research board 2nd December 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB

28 discussion Access during PS operation Beam parameters
NO access would be a show-stopper Beam parameters Spot size Maximum beam momentum Maximum beam intensity Maximum pulse length Temporary modification of beam line Remove some beam elements Installation/reconnection of a quadrupole outside FODO Displace quadrupoles Control room space in ISR 25.Nov 2004 A.Fabich, CERN AB/ATB
