  1. 7. Optimization Studies of the CERN-ISOLDE neutron converter – fission target system
    Thierry Stora (CERN)

    Invited
    The ISOLDE facility at CERN has been one of the premier ISOL facilities worldwide since it started operating in 1967. More than 1000 isotopes have been produced at ISOLDE, following the bombardment of various primary targets with a pulsed proton beam of energy 1.4 GeV and an average intensity of 2 μA. A tungsten solid neutron converter has been used for ten years to produce neutron...

    Invited
    Recent testing of two advanced high-power neutron spallation sources MEGAPIE and EURISOL have yielded a wealth of experimental data and operational experience that is of relevance to efforts currently under-way to develop a safe, reliable neutron source. The neutron spallation source must be maintenance-free and inherently safe to operate. The radio-toxic inventory in the liquid metal must at...

  3. 21. Converter targets for high power spallation neutron sources
    Dr Etam Noah Messomo (ESS AB)

    Invited
    The last decade has seen the commissioning and operation of two spallation neutron source facilities, SNS and J-SNS, where the mercury neutron converter targets receive pulsed proton beams in the MW range. The European Spallation Source planning first neutrons for 2019 has been exploring a range of targets and is converging towards the choice of a baseline target and a back-up solution. This...
