The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory produces neutrons for scientific research by striking mercury with a short-pulse (0.7 μs) proton beam with a 60 Hz rate. The mercury material flows through a stainless-steel target vessel, which is subjected to cyclic loadings and cavitation erosion. The target vessels are consumable components, but their reliability is...

With the aim of increasing the primary beam intensity in the next generation of Radioactive Ion Beam facilities, a major challenge is the production of targets capable of dissipating the high deposited beam power. In that context, LIEBE is a high-power target dedicated to the production of short-lived isotopes.
The design consists of a loop of molten lead-bismuth eutectic, in which the...

The ESSνSB project, recently granted by the EU H2020 programme for a 4-year design study, proposes to use the protons produced by the linac (2 GeV, 5 MW) of the European Spallation Source (ESS) currently in construction in Lund (Sweden) to deliver a neutrino super beam. It follows the studies made by the FP7 Design Study EUROν[1] (2008-2012), regarding future neutrino facilities. The primary...
