Figure 2.4.106: Spot size of a uranium primary beam in horizontal (x, upper panel) and vertical direction(y,<br />

lower panel) as a function of mean position x on the catcher. Depending on the relative difference in<br />

magnetic rigidity different beam catchers behind the first (BC1), the second (BC2) or the third dipole (BC3)<br />

are hit. The simulation is for a beam in fast extraction mode with enlarged spot size of 3mm x 8mm (sigma)<br />

on a 4 g/cm 2 Li-target.<br />

For slow extraction the initial emittance is much smaller but the nuclear and atomic interactions in<br />

the target still broaden the beam, resulting in a spot between 0.25 and 0.5 cm 2 at the beam catchers.<br />

2.4.11.1.3 Choice of beam catcher material<br />

As already discussed the beam catcher serves two purposes, energy absorption and shielding,<br />

which require the use two different kinds of material. In the first part of the beam catcher, material<br />

with a low specific heat and low thermal expansion to avoid problems of melting and high pressure<br />

will be applied. In the second part material of higher density and Z will be used to achieve efficient<br />
