A pulsed muon beam has been generated by a 3-GeV 333-microA proton beam on a muon target made of graphite at J-PARC, Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility. The first muon beam was successfully generated in 2008, and 300-kW proton beam has been operated by a fixed target till 2014. To extend the lifetime, a muon rotating target, in which the radiation damage is distributed to a wider...
As beam power continues to increase in next-generation accelerator facilities, high-power target systems face crucial challenges. Components like beam windows and particle-production targets must endure significantly higher levels of particle fluence. The primary beam’s energy deposition causes rapid heating (thermal shock) and induces microstructural changes (radiation damage) within the...
ESS is completing the installation of the first phase of operation, which will start in fall 2024 on the partial beam dump and proceed with operation on the target in 2025, after receiving the intentional neutron production license from the authorities. All modules for this operation phase, with an energy reach of 870 MeV and a power capability of 2 MW, will be tested by spring 2024. The CM...
