8. Nanomaterials and CNTs in ISOLDE targetry

Dr Simon Thomas Stegemann (CERN)

CERN-ISOLDE is a facility dedicated to the production of radioactive ion beams (RIBs) for physics research.
The quality and quantity of available RIBs is governed by the choice of target materials and their microstructural properties.
In this contribution we highlight the potential of nanomaterials and carbon nanotubes in target material development for more efficient isotope extraction and...

10. Use of low-density graphitic materials for beam-intercepting devices

Nicola Solieri (CERN)

20/06/2023, 11:15

The presentation will cover the use of graphitic materials in beam intercepting devices.
Particular focus will be given to the LHC external dump (TDE), characterising the different materials that are employed in the dump and those that are under study for the HL-LHC upgrade.
A detailed breakdown of the R&D program for this application will cover the simulation and experimental techniques as...

49. How high-power accelerators damage thin wires

Thin targets are used in high-power accelerators because of low energy deposited by the beam and fast cooling.
Extreme beams test the limits to those structures. A series of damage tests done on CERN machines on carbon fiber targets used in wire scanners is presented. Damage events observed on PSI machines on carbon fibers and molybdenum wires are discussed.
