[PEPPo] [EXTERNAL] Re: [PWG] Towards a high-intensity muon source

[Eduard Pozdeyev]

FRIB targets are rotating carbon disks. The final design goal is 200 MeV U beam of 400 kW beam power. I think the first stage was for 50 kW.

Thank you,
Eduard.

Hi Jay

There are many publications and presentations available online that
discuss the rotating graphite wheels. These are mostly from the period
when the large Meson Factories (LAMPF, TRIUMF, SIN) were being planned
and built in the 60's - 70's.
