Description
After more than two years of cooling, the old target will be moved to
its provisional storage place available in the nToF service gallery.
Detailed simulations performed with the Monte Carlo code FLUKA allow for
an accurate characterization of the target activation. Additional
measurements are foreseen to be performed as soon as possible during the
target removal including the taking of samples from the target surface
for further spectroscopy analysis. In this talk, the FLUKA simulations
and the evolution of the total and specific radioactivity over ten years
are presented. This defines the input needed for the transport to and
the final storage outside CERN. Design trends for the new target
construction based on the gained past experience are discussed.
