Title: Results of thermal test of metallic molybdenum disk target and fast-acting valve testing

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1342161· OSTI ID:1342161

This report describes the irradiation conditions for thermal testing of helium-cooled metallic disk targets that was conducted on March 9, 2016, at the Argonne National Laboratory electron linac. The four disks in this irradiation were pressed and sintered by Oak Ridge National Laboratory from molybdenum metal powder. Two of those disks were instrumented with thermocouples. Also reported are results of testing a fast-acting-valve system, which was designed to protect the accelerator in case of a target-window failure.
