  1. 102. Novel Materials R&D for Next-Generation Accelerator Target Facilities
    Abe Burleigh (Fermilab)
    3/20/24, 3:20 PM
    High-Power Accelerator Components and Targets
    Oral Presentation

    High-Entropy Alloys and Electrospun Nanofiber materials are two classes of novel materials that can offer improved resistance to beam-induced radiation damage and thermal shock. Research to develop these new materials specifically for multi-megawatt accelerator target applications, such as beam windows and particle-production targets, are ongoing at Fermilab within the scope of a DOE Early...

  2. 130. Upgrades at the WNR Facility
    Josef Svoboda (LANL)
    3/20/24, 3:40 PM
    High-Power Accelerator Components and Targets
    Oral Presentation

    The Weapons Neutron Research (WNR) facility at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) has set a long-term objective to enhance Target 4. This target facilitates six distinct flight paths (FP), each with specific beam delivery requirements. Historically, the as-designed MCNP geometry model has been employed. However, to guarantee precise beam delivery to all FPs, there is an emerging...

  3. 147. Automating the coupled neutronics-structural stress optimization at ORNL’s Second Target Station
    Lukas Zavorka (ORNL)
    3/20/24, 4:00 PM
    High-Power Accelerator Components and Targets
    Oral Presentation

    Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) Second Target Station (STS) is designed to become the world’s highest peak-brightness spallation source of cold neutrons. Exceptionally bright cold neutron beams will provide transformative capabilities to examine novel materials for advanced technologies in the decades to come. Bright beams will enable new neutron scattering experiments using innovative...

  4. 129. Automated Thermo-structural Analyses and Optimization of an Edge-cooled Spallation Target
    Joseph Tipton (Second Target Station, Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
    3/20/24, 4:20 PM
    High-Power Accelerator Components and Targets
    Oral Presentation

    The Second Target Station (STS) project is progressing through the preliminary design phase with a driving goal of creating the world's brightest neutron source. To achieve this, the spallation target must accept focused proton pulses with high energy (1.3 GeV/proton), high power (700 kW), and high rate (15 Hz) over a design life of 10 years with high availability. Testing resources are...

  5. 151. Affordable, Efficient Injection Injection-Locked Magntrons for Superconducting Cavities
    Milorad Popovic (Fermilab)
    3/20/24, 4:40 PM
    High-Power Accelerator Components and Targets
    Oral Presentation

    Existing magnetrons, primarily employed for investigating control methods and lifespan enhancements in superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) accelerators, were originally designed for diverse applications such as kitchen microwave ovens (1kW, 2.45 GHz) or industrial heating (100 kW, 915 MHz). Our paper describes our collaboration with Richardson Electronics LLC (RELL), focusing on the...
