Oral presentation

Titanium alloys such as commercially available Ti-6Al-4V are currently used as the beam window material in the T2K (Japan) proton beam target for neutrino production due to their high specific strength and low thermal expansion coefficient. Thermal spikes from the pulsed beam cause high frequency stress waves with magnitudes well below the yield stress, which subject the component to...

21. Microstructural Characterisation of Four Grades of Fine Grain Graphite over Multiple Length-scales

Mr Ming Jiang (University of Bristol)

2019-12-09, 2:50 p.m.

Oral presentation

Abstract High power particle production targets are key for current and future generation accelerator driven facilities, e.g. neutrino beams such as T2K in Japan and the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) at Fermilab. During operation, the target materials will be bombarded by ultra-high energy protons inducing high thermal stresses and radiation damage, compromising their useful...
