A high-strength dual alpha+beta phase titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is utilized as a material for beam windows in several accelerator target facilities. However, relatively little known about how properties of this are affected by high-intensity proton irradiation. With plans to upgrade neutrino facilities at J-PARC and Fermilab over 1 MW power, the radiation damage window will reach few displacements per atom (dpa) year, significantly above ~0.3 dpa level existing data. The RaDIATE collaboration...
The beam delivery system for the linear collider focuses beams to nanometer sizes at its interaction point, collimates halo provide acceptable background in detector and has a provision state-of-the art instrumentation order reach ILC's physics goals. This paper describes design details status of baseline configuration considered reference also lists alternatives.
The properties of the neutrino provide a unique window on physics beyond that described by standard model. study subleading effects in oscillations, and race to discover CP-invariance violation lepton sector, has begun with recent discovery ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{13}>0$. measured value ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{13}$ is large, emphasizing need for facility at which systematic uncertainties can be reduced percent level. factory, intense beams are produced from decay muons, been shown outperform...
Novel beam-intercepting materials and targetry concepts are essential to improve the performance, reliability operation lifetimes of next generation multi-megawatt (multi-MW) accelerator target facilities. The components must sustain an order-of-magnitude increase in particle beam intensities beyond current state-of-the-art. With conventional already limiting scope experiments, it is crucial investigate novel materials, technologies that will satisfy requirements maximize physics benefits...
