| Abstract Scope |
Beam-intercepting devices such as beam windows and particle-production targets play a vital role in accelerator target facilities of High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. Their reliable operation is essential for producing the desired particles and ensuring maximum uptime for these experiments. However, the continuous bombardment by high-energy high-intensity pulsed particle beams presents significant challenges that will reduce the target lifetime, particularly radiation damage and thermal shock. This presentation will begin with an overview of the material challenges in accelerator target facilities. It will then cover the ongoing materials irradiation and characterization studies, along with current efforts to develop novel materials that offer greater tolerance to radiation damage and thermal shock. The primary objective of this research is to advance the frontiers of target materials, thereby enabling future multi-MW facilities that will benefit various programs in HEP and beyond. |
