Figure 2.4.110: Calculated equilibrium temperature profile of the beam catcher for an irradiation with a DC<br />

beam depositing 23 kW on a spot size of (9 x 4.5) cm 2 up to a depth of 9.1 cm. Cut through the central hot<br />

region seen from the front.<br />

Iron part<br />

After a certain distance in graphite the deposited energy density becomes low enough to use iron as<br />

a beam catcher material. For example, after a penetration depth of 20 cm of graphite the deposited<br />

energy per volume in the iron drops below 10 MeV/cm 3 per incident ion for a 1500 MeV/u uranium<br />

beam, see Figure 2.4.111. For 10 12 ions in one fast spill this causes a temperature rise of at most 0.5<br />

K which corresponds to a pressure rise of smaller than 3 MPa. Most of the energy is deposited in<br />

the carbon part but still the total heating of the iron can reach a power of the order of 1 kW. This<br />

requires water cooling of the iron as well.<br />
