abstract = {The advent of high-current accelerator systems launched the
development of high-current accelerator-driven neutron
sources (Hi-CANS) utilizing low energy nuclear reactions.
These facilities are intended to bridge the gap between the
high-power spallation sources and the low power CANS. They
are designed to maximize beam brightness and to offer
performance of their beamline instrumentation highly
competitive with existing research reactors. Within the
framework of the Jülich High Brilliance Neutron Source
(HBS) project, a HiCANS is developed. One of the key
components as well as the main power-limiting factor is the
target that releases neutrons from the impinging protons via
nuclear reactions. Since the neutron yield of nuclear
reactions is quite small, this is compensated with a high
proton current. However, the high proton current leads to a
strong heat release inside the target. At the same time the
target has to be very compact to allow the subsequent
extraction of a neutron beam with a high brilliance.
Overall, this leads to unique requirements, such as those
for the HBS target given by a 70 MeV pulsed proton beam with
a peak current of 100 mA and an average thermal power
release of 100 kW inside the target with a surface area of
100 cm². The talk will highlight the technical challenges
involved in designing this new type of HiCANS target.
Starting with the choice of materials, it will cover topics
such as heat dissipation, radiation damage, and handling an
activated target, as well as the difficulties involved in
properly testing such a target.},
