چکیده
We report on the analysis of data collected from the optical diagnostics of the MERIT experiment. The breakup of the free-mercury jet resulting from the impact of intense proton beams from the CERN PS within a magnetic field environment is described.

Operation of a Free Hg Jet Delivery System in a High-power Target Experiment *
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 insi...
متن کاملSimulation and Design of an Organic Quantum Film Electrooptic Switch
In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...
متن کاملThe MERIT High-Power Target Experiment at the CERN PS
We report on the analysis of data collected in the MERIT experiment at CERN during the Fall of 2007. These results validate the concept of a free mercury jet inside a high-field solenoid magnet as a target for a pulsed proton beam of 4MW power, as needed for a future Muon Collider and/or Neutrino Factory.
متن کاملUnified Pulsed Laser Range Finder and Velocimeter using Ultra-Fast Time-To-Digital Converter
In this paper, we present a high accuracy laser range finder and velocimeter using ultra-fast time-to-digital converter (TDC). The system operation is based on the measuring the round-trip time of a narrow laser pulse. A low-dark current high-speed PIN photodiode is used to detect the triggered laser beam and to produce start signal. The pulsed laser diode generates 45W optical power at 30ns du...
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.
