A ROTATING METAL BAND TARGET FOR PION PRODUCTION AT NEUTRINO FACTORIES AND MUON COLLIDERS.

Conference KING, B J ; SIMOS, N ; WEGGEL, R V ; ...

A conceptual design is presented for a high power pion production target for neutrino factories and muon colliders that is based on a rotating metal band of either inconel alloy 718, titanium alloy 6AL4V grade 5 or nickel. The band is 5 meters in diameter and is tangentially intercepted by a pulsed proton beam inside a 20 Tesla tapered solenoidal magnetic pion capture channel. The mechanical layout and cooling setup of the target are summarized and results are presented from realistic MARS and ANSYS computer simulations of pion yields, energy depositions and shock heating stresses. The target scenario is predictedmore »« less

MOVING SOLID METALLIC TARGETS FOR PION PRODUCTION IN THE MUON COLLIDER/NEUTRINO FACTORY PROJECT.

Conference THIEBERGER,P.KIRK,H.G.WEGGEL,R.J.MCDONALD,K.

The production of large fluxes of pions and muons using high-energy, high-intensity proton pulses impinging on solid or liquid targets presents unique problems which have not yet been entirely solved. We investigate the possibilities of using solid targets by choosing a metal of either extremely low thermal expansion coefficient 1 or exceptionally high mechanical strength. Candidates are respectively Super-Invar and Vascomax 350 or Inconel 718. Moving targets in the form of chains or cables would be required for cooling purposes. These materials seem easily capable of surviving the beam pulses required for the largest beam power contemplated. Questions regarding radiationmore » damage effects are being investigated.« less

A 4-MW Target Station for a Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory

Journal Article Kirk, H G ; Ding, X ; Graves, V B ; ... - Proceedings of IPAC10

We outline a program of engineering design and simulation for a target station and pion production/capture system for a 4-MW proton beam at the front end of a Muon Collider or a Neutrino Factory. The target system consists of a free liquid-metal (nominally mercury) jet immersed in a high-field solenoid magnet capture system that also incorporates the proton beam dump. Topics to be studied include optimization of proton beam and jet target parameters, of the magnetic configuration for capture and subsequent transport of pions and muons, of the beam dump, of the radiation/thermal shielding of the capture magnets, and ofmore »« less
