Introduction
EUROnu Annual Meeting, January 2011
• EUROnu target-station scheme has 4 targets and 4 horns– Each target exposed to ¼ of the total beam power (1.11e14 protons/pulse, 4.5 GeV, 12.5
Hz repetition rate)– Reduced Beam induced heating in target by a factor of 4
• Baseline target technology is a solid beryllium rod, peripherally cooled

Note degradation in strength at elevated temperature
Suggest to limit Tmax to, say ~300°C ?
Need to define a design stress limit as some fraction of σy say, ~160 MPa ?

Motivation for a “Pencil shaped” target
• Need to find a way to reduce the high steady-state thermal stress present in the case of a solid cylindrical beryllium target
– Stress driven by large radial temperature variation at thermal equilibrium
• A potential solution – place the cooling fluid closer to the region peak energy deposition in the target
– Shorter conduction path– Reduced ΔT between surface and location of Tmax– Tmax is reduced – more favourable material properties– Lower thermal stress
• Engineering solutions being considered:– “Pencil shaped” solid target - PL– Packed pebble bed target - TD

Deposited Energy (FLUKA)
• Benefits of a cone shape (compared to a cylinder):– Integrated heat load is reduced (less material in front of the beam?)– Coolant fluid in close proximity to the region of maximum heat deposition
Cylinder: Ø24 mm, 800 mm long
Integrated Heat Load 2.9 kJ/pulsei.e. 36 kW heating from 1 MW beam

Cone: 1 mm < Ø < 24 mm, 800 mm longIntegrated Heat Load 2.0 kJ/pulse

Well Centred Beam (Standard Operating Case)
• Results from steady-state thermo-mechanical analysis:– Need surface HTC of the order 4kW/m2K in order to limit Tmax to ~300°C– Gives max stress = 83 MPa
Temperature (left) and Von-Mises thermal stress (right) corresponding to a steady state operation with a surface HTC = 4kW/m2K, bulk fluid temp = 30°C

Off Centre Beam (Accident Case)
• Results from steady-state thermo-mechanical analysis:– Total heat load is reduced in the case of the beam being mis-steered– Location of Tmax moves downstream

Off Centre Beam (Accident Case)
• Lateral deflection due to steady-state off-centre heating:– 13 mm lateral deflection if cantilevered from downstream end– Max stress increased to 120 MPa (recall 83 MPa in well centred beam case)

Helium Cooling Summary
• Beryllium target can be cooled with 60g/s helium at 10bar and maintain a steady-state temperature of approximately 300°C
• Mass flow rate is double that of the T2K target cooling but the volume flow rate is a factor of 3 less due to the target operating at high pressure
• 60g/s @ 10bar & 300K = 135m3/hr (Design 3 volumetric flow rate)• For comparison 30g/s @ 1.6bar & 300K = 421m3/hr (T2K volumetric flow rate)
• Guess total P (Target + Heat Exchangers + Pipe work) is 5bar • Ideal compressor work is then approximately 8kW (T2K = 20kW)
• Seems reasonable

General Conclusions and further work
• Pencil target geometry merits further investigation– Steady-state thermal stress within acceptable range– Initial investigation into pressurised helium cooling appears feasible– Off centre beam effects could be problematic..?
• Need to study pion production for “pencil” target geometry – Andrea??– Look for any “show-stoppers”
• Carry out further thermo-mechanical studies including:– Input CFX heat transfer result into ANSYS mechanical model– Profile the target instead of the “can” for ease of manufacture– Helium return flow
