n_TOF facility timeline

n_TOF Target #3 Project n_TOF facility started operation in 1999 with 1st generation spallation target (Target #1) Run#1 from – stopped due to significant increase in water contamination 2nd generation target (Target #2) was then built and installed in 2008, with a foreseen lifetime of 10 years Run#2 completed successfully in December 2018 ( ) at the programmed EOL of Target #2 3rd generation spallation target (Target #3) foreseen to be installed during CERN’s Long Shutdown 2 ( ), to guarantee n_TOF operation until LS4 (~2030) (Run #3) 29 May 2019 M.

The main scope of the current Production Readiness Review is to assess the production readiness of the Target #3 and the ability to start the production phase. A review of the design of the components and the functionality falls also within the scope of the review The review panel is requested to: Analyse the detailed design of the baseline Target #3, constituted by a sliced N2-cooled bare Pb target with fully decoupled moderators to service EAR1 and EAR2 Address the recommendations of the Intermediate Engineering Design Review and their appropriate implementation (where applicable) in the baseline design of Target #3 Identify any evident showstopper or missing aspect in the current Target #3 design that might hinder the successful operation of the spallation target starting from 2021 29 May 2019 M. Calviani - n_TOF Target #3 PRR Introduction - EDMS

Questions for the PRR reviewers (1/5) EDMS 2127768
Globally assess the appropriateness of the baseline Target #3 (sliced N2-cooled bare Pb target) with respect to the operational requirements and operational history of the facility, including safety aspects Is the baseline design of the spallation target matching the requirements of the n_TOF Collaboration in terms of physics reach for Run3 and Run4 (i.e. from 2021 to 2030)? Assess whether the current proposed PS beam parameters (intensity, beam sizes, average power) assumed for the target design are realistic for post LS2 operation and whether the target is adapted to these parameters 29 May 2019 M. Calviani - n_TOF Target #3 PRR Introduction - EDMS

Do you see any fabrication and production showstoppers or, more generally, feasibility issues in the proposed baseline design (target core, pressurized vessel, moderator assembly, etc.) in view of their production? Is the design of the EAR1 and EAR2 moderator(s) adapted to the requirements of the Target#3 spallation target mechanics and physics? Is there any possible improvement that could/should be implemented before the construction phase? Are the prototyping activities associated to the bimetallic transition for the EAR1 moderator adapted to launch the production of the spallation target? Is there any specific precaution that has to be taken into account which appears not to have been considered during the review? 29 May 2019 M. Calviani - n_TOF Target #3 PRR Introduction - EDMS

Are the target core & vessel prototyping activities adequate for the challenges associated to the construction and operation of Target#3? Do you see areas of required investigation? Is the design of the anti-creep plate adapted to cope with its stated functions, i.e. retaining the Pb plates while guaranteeing a sufficient wet area for cooling the target for the target predicted lifetime? Do you see any potential showstopper in the executed finite element model / thermo-mechanical calculations, for both nominal and for degraded operational scenarios? Are there specific topics or analyses which have been underestimated and would require further studies before beam operation? 29 May 2019 M. Calviani - n_TOF Target #3 PRR Introduction - EDMS

Are the performed Target #3 CFD studies appropriate for the current status of the Target #3 design? Are there any other investigations that would need to be performed? Assess whether the HiRadMat tests conducted at the end of and the resulting investigations (including the focusing on the N2 static target) are appropriate for the current status. Is there any specific PIE that – compatible with budget – would be useful to execute in the coming months? Are there any specific worries from an electrochemical compatibility point of view or erosion/corrosion problems expected with the proposed baseline target? 29 May 2019 M. Calviani - n_TOF Target #3 PRR Introduction - EDMS

Is the design and progresses on the design of the N2 cooling and moderator(s) station adapted to cope with the operational requirements of the new spallation target? Is there any major improvement that would need to be implemented before the tendering phase? Finally, are the any specific concerns that should be addressed before the start of the Target production and before the Target Installation Review to take place during 2020? The Committee is requested to provide a written report to the n_TOF Target #3 Project Leader and to the EN-STI Group Leader within 1.5 months from the review. 29 May 2019 M.
