With increasing beam intensities of future accelerator facilities, it is critical to understand the thermal shock response of conventional and novel materials used as accelerator beam windows and secondary particle production targets in order to successfully design and operate these components. As a result, experiments initiated by the RaDIATE collaboration, have been carried out and are being...

The ESS Target Station consists mainly of proton beam intercepting systems and other components exposed to high intensity radiation. The functionalities of these systems degrade with accumulated radiation damage in the constituent materials. It is important to have a clear understanding of properties of irradiated materials in making the materials selections and the operations and maintenance...

Neutron-rich fission fragments are readily available at CERN-ISOLDE. However, if produced by direct irradiation (1.4GeV - 2μA pulsed protons) of a uranium carbide (UCx) target, the desired isotopes come with very high isobaric neutron-deficient fission fragments. Instead, irradiating a W spallation source, the neutrons produced irradiate the target producing high purity neutron-rich fission...
