The Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center target at the Lujan Center is now operating its 3rd target. This is comprised of 2 targets, the first “upper” target is a stack of Ta-clad W disks of varying thickness, the 2nd is a Ta-clad W cylinder located below. The 800 MeV proton beam strikes the upper target on the flat faces of the disks. To accommodate changing experimental needs, a new upper...

The key element in the SINQ target of the neutron spallation source at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is a bundle of rods fabricated from Zr-alloy tubes filled with Pb. A proton beam initiates a spallation reaction, which is accompanied with a powerful local heat release (mainly in Pb).
Despite an effective convective cooling of the rods surfaces with heavy water, the temperature of Pb...
