Walter Oelert24/01/2007, 09:05AD Physics in 2007 and beyondSlidesThe 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.Go to contribution page

Tommy ERIKSSON24/01/2007, 09:25AD machine and Experimental Areas - Operation and major problems in 2006, outlook for 2007SlidesThe 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...Go to contribution page

Alberto Mengoni24/01/2007, 10:10Physics goals for nTOF in 2007 beyondSlidesThe 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...Go to contribution page

Thomas OTTO24/01/2007, 10:45RP issues for safe operation of the nTOF facilitySlidesThe 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...Go to contribution page

Paolo CENNINI24/01/2007, 11:00What needs to be done to restart nTOF in 2007SlidesAfter 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...Go to contribution page

Ans PARDONS24/01/2007, 11:25New nTOF target design issuesSlidesFollowing 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.Go to contribution page

Markus Brugger (CERN AB/ATB)24/01/2007, 11:45Characterization of the nTOF radioactive wasteSlidesAfter 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...Go to contribution page

Luisa Ulrici24/01/2007, 12:00Towards a permanent disposal of the nTOF radioactive wasteSlidesThe 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...Go to contribution page
