Operation of a Free Hg Jet Delivery System in a High-power Target Experiment *

چکیده
Operation of a mercury jet delivery system is presented. The delivery system was part of the MERcury Intense Target (MERIT) Experiment, a proof-of-principle experiment conducted at CERN in 2007 which demonstrated the feasibility of using an unconstrained jet of mercury as a target in a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The mercury system was designed to produce a 1-cm-diameter, 20-m/s jet inside a high-field (15 Tesla) solenoid magnet. A high-speed optical diagnostic system allowed observation of the interaction of the jet with both 14and 24-GeV proton beams. Performance of the mercury system during the in-beam experiment will be presented.

متن کاملDesign and Manufacturing of Jet to free Stream Simulator to Experimental Study of Interaction of Oblique Jet in Crossflow
The study of interactions of jet into cross flow at different longitudinal and transverse angles of jet was studied. The following components were designed and constructed: a low velocity wind tunnel to produce the uniform flow, a flat plate with a traverse injection system to simulate the jet injection, and a spatial rake to measure the total pressure. The tests were carried out at longitudina...

متن کاملThe Merit High-power Target Experiment at the Cern Ps
The MERIT experiment was designed as a proof-ofprinciple test of a target system based on a free mercury jet inside a 15-T solenoid that is capable of sustaining proton beam powers of up to 4 MW. The experiment was run at CERN in the fall of 2007. We describe the results of the tests and their implications.
متن کاملLiquid-jet laser–plasma extreme ultraviolet sources: from droplets to filaments
The laser plasma is one of the major contenders as a high-power source for future high-volume-manufacturing extreme ultraviolet lithography systems. Such laser–plasma sources require a target system that allows high-repetition-rate operation with low debris and manageable thermal load at the required high laser power. In this paper, we review the development of the liquid-jet target laser plasm...
