||
| In BINP, Russia, the high temperature neutron target for SPES project (INFN-LNL, Italy) is proposed. The target is designed to produce up to 10**14 neutron per second within the energy range of several MeV under irradiation by proton/deuteron beam of power up to 200 kW. By now the target prototype is successfully tested. The development of liquid metal driving system and target general design is started. Presented paper describes the design of the target and the target prototype as well as the results of prototype tests under high-power electron beam. Special attention is paid to the carbon material with high content of 13C isotope. The material is produced following the original technology and used for manufacturing the converter irradiated with the proton beam. |
