Description
To meet the requirement of the next-generation muon source driven by cw superconducting linac, a new solution of for the muon production target is essential. In comparison to the rotating graphite target, the free-surface liquid lithium target proposed in this paper offers advantages in surface muon production efficiency, heat-removal ability, and target geometry compactness. Owing to its properties of low melting point, extremely low saturated vapor pressure, high heat capacity, and good compatibility with structural materials, liquid lithium has been widely used as a neutron production target, a radionuclide production target, and an ion beam charge stripper. The stability of the jet is the key. Here the simulation study of the parameters for a stable lithium jet is introduced. The influence of the press fluctuation on the stability of the target body as well as the free surface is investigated.
