[Isotope-prod] Isotope production target design idea session

[George Neil]

We are in the process of pulling together a research proposal to DOE to 
test medical isotope production on LERF and need to come up with a good 
idea for the target hence this invitation for a thinking session.  We 
would like to produce Cu67 isotope in a liquid Gallium target after a 1 
-2 mm thick tungsten (or similar) radiator.

Desirable characteristics of the target include:

ability to handle ~ 50 kW of incoming ebeam at ~ 50 MeV

ability to load and remove to a shipping container the irradiated 
Gallium with a minimum of handling

compatibility with, no introduction of additional, trace copper

robustness and reliability

Other characteristics can be discussed at the meeting which I propose to 
happen  tomorrow Tuesday 5/24 1-4 pm EDT.   If that is a bad time for 
you please suggest a couple of other slots this week.  If I get a quorum 
I will schedule a room and notify you.
