27. NEW NOZZLE PRODUCTION METHOD AND VACUUM STUDIES ON THE PANDA CLUSTER-JET TARGET

Michael Weide

In the upcoming PANDA experiment at FAIR in Darmstadt (Germany) the annihilation of antiprotons with protons will be investigated in order to study the QCD, i.e., the theory explaining the strong interaction [1]. The antiprotons will be produced with a series of linear and ring accelerators and reach a momentum of up to 15 GeV/c in the storage ring HESR. The protons for the annihilation...

46. THE WINDOWLESS JET TARGET FOR E-P SCATTERING EXPERIMENTS AT MAGIX AT MESA

Liridon Deda (University of Münster)

In order to address some still open questions in physics, a new accelerator, MESA (Mainz Energy-Recovery Superconducting Accelerator), is currently under construction in Mainz, Germany. MESA will be the world's first accelerator to use superconducting energy-recovery technology. This will allow for an electron beam with high intensity, up to 10 mA, and low energy, up to 105 MeV, enabling a...

1. Thin 128Te Sandwiched target for Plunger measurements

The nuclear level lifetimes in the range of picoseconds to femtoseconds cannot be measured directly with any conventional technique available to us. For such small lifetimes, the methods based on the Doppler’s effect of light have been used historically. The excited states for which the level lifetimes are of the order of a few 10s to a few 100s picoseconds, the recoil distance Doppler shift...

3. Gd-doped Pd alloys targets for radiolanthanides production in a pressurized water power reactor’s core

Sofia Pasolini (PSI, ETHZ)

This project focuses on the development of suitable metallic targets for the in-core neutron irradiation of enriched lanthanide materials (e.g., Yb-176 and Gd-160) in a commercial nuclear power plant in Switzerland, enabling a reliable supply of medical-use of radiolanthanides (i.e., Lu-177 and Tb-161, both applied in Targeted Radionuclide Therapy). To achieve this, the project proposes to...

38. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING OF CERMET TARGETS FOR RADIOISOTOPE PRODUCTION

Victor Bautista (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

Aluminum has long served as the primary choice of filler material for the production of critical radioisotopes such as actinium-227, barium-133, californium-252, thorium-228, thorium-229, and plutonium-238 in the High Flux Iso-tope Reactor at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Aluminum’s high thermal conductivity and ease of use in fabricating...
