Designing a reliable target is already challenge for MW-class facilities today and has led several major accelerator to operate at lower than design power due concerns. With present plans increase beam next generation in the decade, timely R D support of robust high targets critical secure full physics benefits ambitious upgrades. A comprehensive program must be implemented address many complex challenges faced by multi MW intercepting devices. This roadmap envisioned helpful DOE-OHEP office...

Abstract Molecular dynamics was employed to investigate the radiation damage due collision cascades in LiAlO 2 and LiAl 5 O 8 , latter being a secondary phase formed former during irradiation. Atomic displacement were simulated by initiating primary knock-on atoms (PKA) with energy values = 5, 10 15 keV quantified number of Frenkel pairs for each species: Li, Al O. The challenges modeling an ionic system without core–shell model oxygen addressed new findings on resistance these ceramics are...

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy is a promising, rapid analysis method for the detection and quantification of Li its isotopes needed in geochemical, nuclear, energy storage applications. However, spectral broadening laser produced plasmas, presence fine hyperfine structures, self-reversal effects make isotopic via challenging. The present study explores influence Ar, N2, He ambient gases over pressure range 0.05 - 100 Torr on line I transition with greatest shift VIS region (i.e.,...

Abstract Most correlations/models for minimum transport or critical velocity of slurry were developed slurries composed particles greater than ∼100–200 µm diameter with narrow particle‐size distributions which is typical the minerals industry. Many other process industries handle smaller particles. In particular waste at U.S. Department Energy's Hanford Site have broad size and significant fractions Despite these wastes, recent studies Pacific Northwest National Laboratory indicate that...

A foil of a metastable β Titanium alloy Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al was irradiated at the J-PARC neutrino experimental facility with 1.4 × 1020 30 GeV protons low temperature (100–130°C most), and microstructural characterization hardness testing were conducted as an initial study on radiation damage effects by high energy proton beam exposure. Expected center is about 0.06–0.12 displacement per atom. density (> 1023 m−3) nanometer-sized precipitate observed TEM studies, which would be identified...
