2.4.11.3.1 Target design for slow-extraction<br />

In slow extraction mode, the typical extraction time is 1 s, and, consequently, the energy values<br />

given in Table 2.4.28 can easily be converted into power with the same numerical values. The<br />

maximum beam power of 12 kW deposited by 238 U in the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS target can be compared to the<br />

values found in operating facilities (PSI) or to those considered in planned facilities<br />

(RIKEN/BigRIPS and GANIL/SPIRAL-II), see Table 2.4.29. The <strong>Super</strong>-FRS beam power in slow<br />

extraction is lower than in the above-mentioned facilities, and it should, therefore, be possible to<br />

use the same target material as chosen for the other facilities, namely graphite.<br />

Although graphite has one of the best thermal characteristics, the energy deposited by the uranium<br />

beam in a stationary target would lead to very high temperatures of about 20,000 K, which are well<br />

above the sublimation point. The solution that has therefore been chosen at PSI, RIKEN and<br />

SPIRAL-II involves a rotating-wheel concept, which allows to increases the volume where the<br />

energy is deposited. The same concept will be used at the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS.<br />

Table 2.4.29: Typical beam parameters for production targets of existing or planned secondary-beam<br />

facilities. All target concepts use rotating wheels and DC beams. For <strong>Super</strong>-FRS slowly extracted beams of<br />

a rate 1 /s were assumed. Specific power values are calculated assuming that targets rotate with 60 rpm.<br />

Calculations of an engineering model of the graphite target wheel<br />

Concerning the engineering design of the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS target for slow extraction the solution developed<br />

and used at PSI [65] will be followed. A more detailed description of the rotating target<br />

wheel has been given in the final report of task 6 of the EU <strong>Design</strong> Study "DIRACsecondarybeams"<br />

[66].<br />
