Liquid metal spallation target studies
Description
Pumped liquid metal targets are under study for the two major spallation neutron source projects in Europe, SINQ and ESS. While SINQ requires a low absorption heavy metal (Pb, Bi), mercury was chosen for ESS because the high thermal neutron absorption is not a problem for a pulsed source. Apart from this, the two concepts have several common problems such as fluid dynamics, secondary heat removal and safety aspects that can be studied on a common basis. (author) 1 fig., 4 refs
