RaDIATE Meeting December /13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 1

RaDIATE LOGO Logo idea in upper right hand corner Idea is hexagonal crystal with 2 atoms knocked out of lattice to form an “R” Graphite and Be are both HCP Any other ideas? Thanks to Brian Hartsell’s rendering! 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 2

Agenda RaDIATE News (MOU status, Postdoc recruitment status, etc.) White Board Parameter Space Table Update Irradiate Materials Table Update Oxford team update (C. English/S. Roberts/B. Jones/J. Marrow) MARS DPA calculation overview (N. Mokhov) Graphite Irradiation Creep paper discussion Is creep an issue with targets/windows? How low can we go? (in energy of proton beam and still get meaningful results that translate to the high energy regime) Next Meeting 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 3

RaDIATE News MOU “pre-approved” by all Being submitted by FNAL to DOE Post-doc recruitment Job description? Advertising in December? Project X Energy Station Workshop Currently only domestic (US) participation Explore 1 MW proton target facility for nuclear energy research applications (irradiated nuclear materials) RaDIATE in “reverse” (how can accelerators help NE?) January 29-30, /13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 4

White-board Parameter Space Table Latest version on RaDIATE web-site Link to file Re-organized the data Updated the data Added Gas Production/DPA column Please review and help fill in missing information Added Operating Conditions footnote Thanks Kavin! 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 5

Irradiated Materials Table Updated version on RaDIATE site Link to file Updated lots of information Added gas production/DPA column Still many blanks or unconfirmed information Tables good enough to see overlap? Thanks again Kavin! 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 6

Report from the “Oxford” team Any progress to report on Stage 1 activities? 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 7

Report from the BNL “team” (of one)? Any progress to report on further graphite/C-C testing? (hot cell repairs?) 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 8

MARS DPA Calculations Nikolai’s presentation 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 9

Graphite Irradiation Creep Discussion 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 10

Graphite Irradiation Creep Discussion 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 11 Besides discussion of paper, what about: Is creep an issue with targets/windows? How low can we go? (in energy of proton beam and still get meaningful results that translate to the high energy regime) Link to paper

Next Meeting Mid-January? How does it fit with recruitment schedule? (interviews probable in what time frame?) 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 12

Action Item List from November Review MOU for “signability” at each institution and let Pat know ASAP Review and firm up “white board” table for parameter space (imperative to have this done by next month’s meeting) Review and fill out Irradiated Materials Table (imperative to have this in better shape by next month’s meeting) Pat to start Doodle Poll for December meeting Oxford Stage 1 team to review draft LBNE BLIP graphite irradiation report (on web-site) to help inform Stage 1 development Steve Roberts to generate post-doc position description draft and distribute 12/13/12P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 13

Action Item List from November Brian Hartsell to establish list-serv address for RaDIATE S. Brooks and P. Hurh to coordinate web-site information (PASI and RaDIATE) Nick Simos, Pat Hurh, and Kavin Ammigan to continue graphite irradiation research at BLIP Extra Credit: Generate ideas for an ultra-cool, super-sweet, totally awesome RaDIATE Logo! 12/13/12P.
