abstract = {Within the framework of the Jülich High Brilliance Neutron
Source (HBS) project, a high current accelerator based
neutron source(HiCANS) is developed. The main power-limiting
factor is the target that releases neutrons via nuclear
reactions from theimpinging protons. The neutron yield of
these nuclear reactions is quite small. This is compensated
with a high proton currentwhich leads to a strong heat
release inside the target. At the same time the target has
to be very compact. Overall, this leads tounique
requirements of the HBS target given by a 70 MeV pulsed
proton beam on a surface area of 100 cm² with a peak
current of100 mA and an average thermal power release of 100
kW inside the target. A solid tantalum target prototype with
an innovativemicro channel water cooling structure was
developed, manufactured, and tested at 1 kW/cm² with an
electron beam to matchthese requirements. Known challenges
from low energy targets like blistering, joining, lifetime,
and heat dissipation, as well asparticular challenges of the
HBS target design like coolant erosion, thermomechanical
stresses, and critical heat flux have beenconsequently
considered during the development. Here, we will present the
HBS target design, explain various measures taken tosolve
the challenges mentioned, and show the successful high heat
flux tests in the electron beam facility JUDITH 2. This work
ispart of the collaboration within ELENA and LENS on the
development of HiCANS.},
