Mostly concerned with proton beams but some of the comments about
tungsten may be of interest. I hadn't thought about hydrogen
embrittlement of tungsten via water cooling before seeing it herein.
There was no issue that I'm aware of with the Qweak collimator but I
pass this along nonetheless.

Designing a reliable target is already a challenge for MW-class
facilities today and has led several major accelerator facilities to
operate at lower than design power due to target concerns. With present
plans to increase beam power for next generation accelerator facilities
in the next decade, timely R and D in support of robust high power
targets is critical to secure the full physics benefits of ambitious
accelerator power upgrades. A comprehensive R and D program must be
implemented to address the many complex challenges faced by multi MW
beam intercepting devices. This roadmap is envisioned to be helpful to
the DOE-OHEP office when planning and prioritizing future R and D
activities as well as leveraging synergies across the Office of Science.
The roadmap will be extremely beneficial to the broader (external to DOE
HEP) HPT community by communicating OHEP s high level strategy and
objectives for HPT R and D and highlighting possible opportunities for
collaboration.
