Evolution of the LAMPF high power pion production target mechanisms

Conference ·

The Los Alamos Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility's (LAMPF's) beam contains 800 kW of power and passes through three pion production targets in series before being deposited into an isotope production section and beam dump. The first two targets are rotating graphite rings that are radiatively cooled. The third pion production target is a water-cooled graphite slug.
