AD Physics in 2007 and beyond
Slides
The AD is delivering p-bar beams since quite some
years by now to serve four different experiments
studying both basic and fundamental physics as well as
applications in actuarial survival rates of cells when
being treated with p-bars.
After a short introduction of the experimental set-ups
the essential goals will be presented with an outlook
for upcoming activities.

AD machine and Experimental Areas - Operation and major problems in 2006, outlook for 2007
Slides
The restart of the AD after the 18 month shutdown 2004-2006 was unusually
problematic. During the physics run, beam conditions were generally stable, but
the fault rate was high. An analysis of the major problems encountered is
presented along with some ideas on how to avoid similar problems in 2007.
For the AD experimental areas, outstanding issues and plans for the 2007 run
will be...

Physics goals for nTOF in 2007 beyond
Slides
The n_TOF Collaboration has identified the physics cases and a set of
experiments which constitutes the plan for the "Phase 2" of the activities to be
performed at n_TOF, from 2007 and beyond. An outline of this plan, together
with the perspectives for developments foreseen for the facility will be
presented.
The experimental program follows the lines defined during the measurement...

RP issues for safe operation of the nTOF facility
Slides
The technical and organizational requirements for n-TOF, a neutron spallation
source, are given with the aim of ensuring its safe operation with minimal
radiological impact on personnel and the environment.
The presentation focuses on the target and target area, but an outlook on a
future experimental area is given.
The steps achieved and those to be accomplished are listed, with an...

What needs to be done to restart nTOF in 2007
Slides
After two year of cooling, the old target should be moved to
the provisional
storage place available in the Service Gallery. The problems
related to this
operation are described and the solution presented. An
additional storage
place for the new target is foreseen. The solution for the
storage of two
targets is presented.
The impact of the air activation in the target area...

New nTOF target design issues
Slides
Following the radiation safety requirement that the lead of the
nTOF target shall not be in contact with the cooling water, an
entirely new target assembly must be developed. The concept
of a cladded target is being described. Preliminary designs of
target geometry and target integration in the existing cooling
loop are shown, as well as structures for positioning and
installation.

Characterization of the nTOF radioactive waste
Slides
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...

Towards a permanent disposal of the nTOF radioactive waste
Slides
The final disposal of the old target of the nTOF facility has to be performed
according to the current radiation protection regulations in CERN Host States.
The presentation gives an overview of legal framework for the elimination of
the target and summarizes the current information available on transport and
disposal requirements. A budgetary estimate for the final disposal of this...
