The SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) ISOL facility at INFN-LNL will produce Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) by impinging a multi-foil uranium carbide target with a proton beam, accelerated up to 70 MeV by a cyclotron. The produced nuclei will be employed in many fields of research, ranging from astrophysics to material science and nuclear medicine. In order to increase the RIBs...

The design of high-power targets for production of Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) at an Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) facility requires a full overview of the physical processes occurring in the target: nuclear reactions, thermal effects, isotope diffusion and effusion. Such high-power targets are nowadays a requisite as they constitute one of the means to significantly increase the yields...

This study presents the last updates regarding the R&D activities for the redesign of the CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator (AD) production target, which are taking place in the context of the AD-Target area Consolidation project.
These updates include the manufacturing of a first scaled prototype of the target, constituted by a sliced core of 8 mm diameter Ta rods embedded in a compressed...

A compact nanofiber production unit with capability to produce variety of ceramic nanofibers using very low power output low voltage DC input inexpensive DC-DC voltage converter with dual polarity high voltage DC supply has been developed. The device is much smaller light weight and simplifier than conventional electrospinning unit. The device is much safer to use as it limits the output power...

The advancement of high power targets and accelerator components is dependent on the exploitation of irradiation facilities to assess these constituents for R&D purposes. HiRadMat (High Radiation to Materials) is an irradiation facility at CERN designed to provide material testing capabilities to a range of R&D projects using pulsed high energy, high intensity, proton and ion beams. Since...

The APS-U will generate high-brightness x-rays using small, intense, 6-GeV electron beams with transverse dimensions of 0.010-0.015 mm, rms. Full beam aborts in the APS-U storage ring will sometimes be required for machine and personnel protection. These involve removing power from the accelerating cavities, which allows the beam to spiral in until it hits a whole beam dump (WBD). Simulations...

Due to their low activation, corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, and their commercial availability, Ti-alloys, especially the α+β alloy Ti-6Al-4V (wt%), are considered for different applications in nuclear industry. Ti-6Al-4V is also being considered as a structural material for the beam dump for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University- a new...

Tritium is known to be generated in a target material like graphite by a nuclear reaction due to hadron beam irradiation. It is pointed out that such a tritium diffuses in the high temperature graphite exposed by a high power beam, and then evaporates to the beam line vacuum. Hence such a tritium has possibility to cause an unexpected leakage and/or contamination trouble. In a sense of...

The compound of uranium carbide (UCx-C) target will be used for ISOL facility of RAON. However, Lanthanum de-carbide (LaC2) was used to carry out advanced research for optimal condition of fabrication instead of UCx-C because the uranium is radio-active material and lanthanum carbide has a similar properties to uranium carbide. A compound disk of lanthanum carbide (LaC2-C) of 50 mm in...

The future CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) internal dump (Target Internal Dump Vertical Graphite, known as TIDVG#5), to be installed during CERN’s Long Shutdown 2 (LS2, 2019-2020), will be required to intercept beam dumps from 14 to 450 GeV, with increased intensity and repetition rates with respect to its predecessor (TIDVG#4).
The new dump will be installed at a different location in...
