Muon production target 1/3 ISIS neutron target Beam envelope QN2 f70mm Beam loss QN3 QN4 The 2-cm graphite target causes a 5% (50 kW) beam loss mainly at target and scrapers. Another 5% loss is reserved for the second muon target to be installed in M1. The effect of radiation and the related things was well-studied for designing M2 devices. >150W QN1 Target & Scrapers Neutron target 5% loss Transport efficiency
Fixed target Isotropic Graphite IG-430U (Toyo Tanso) Diameter: 70mm Thickness: 20mm P-Beam diameter; 16 mm (2s) 4kW heat @ 1MW proton beam 70 mm 20 mm The 1st fixed target was used for 5 years since the 1st beam without replacement. Duration of acc. operation: 15000 hours Proton beam stop due to muon target: 3 hours (Water flow Low) ⇒ stable Stainless steel pipe (Water) Copper frame Hot Iso-static Press method
Life time of muon target The limit of target use will be 1 DPA. Target deformation is 1%. DPA is expected to reach at 1 DPA after ½ ~ 1 year irradiation under 1MW. Target replacement work consumes much money, time and human resources. Development of the rotating target Beam profile: uniform in p-space DPA Heat generation Test of the radiation damage on graphite at PSI.
Rotating target Referring to PSI, rotating target is adopted to distribute the radiation damage in graphite to a wider area. Proton beam Current fixed target Rotating target 330 mm The lifetime of graphite becomes long enough. The lifetime of bearing determines the total one. Solid lubricant in bearing: Silver coating with MoS2 is selected in PSI's target. Tungsten disulfide at MUSE. Expected lifetime: 10 years Proton beam
Efficient muon facility What is efficient muon beamline? Large number of muons per proton. Efficiency = muon production yield capture and transmission efficiency 2 1015 proton/s (=1 MW) 5% is used. 107-108 muons/s in each 4 beam lines 10-6 m/p may be a conventional value. New target material (SiC…) High capture and transmission efficiency by placing the solenoid just beside the target Geometrical constraint Þ new target station
Summary In MUSE, 4 beamlines are extracted, and they can answer a variety of users’ requests. Typical value of 10-6 m/p is achieved. To improve this, new target station is needed. However, from a different standpoint point Efficient facility: number of experiments to be conducted in a unit time is important. Furthermore, requested beam conditions by users have a variety, i.e. m+, m-, momentum... For the next generation facility, we have to consider what is efficient facility.
