abstract = {Beams of free neutrons are an important probe to analyze
the structure and dynamics of condensed matter and are
produced at neutron research reactors, neutron spallation
sources or compact accelerator-based neutron sources (CANS).
An efficient construction of CANS with a maximized neutron
yield and brilliance requires reliable knowledge of the
consequences of radiation-induced material damage, the
predominating bottleneck of a target’s lifetime. In the
framework of the Jülich High-Brilliance neutron Source
project, the impact of proton- and neutron-induced material
damage of a tantalum target was investigated. The Monte
Carlo codes FLUKA and SRIM were utilized to extract the
number of displacements per atom resulting from atomic
rearrangements. The simulations performed distinctly
identify the rear of the neutron target as the most
vulnerable area, with the protons as main damage
contributors. The minor contribution of neutrons is a
material-specific phenomenon due to their high mean free
path length in tantalum. Numerical results of the
simulations served to calculate average and peak damage
rates Rd (dpa/s), both in turn scaled to annual displacement
doses for continuous operation in a full power year
(dpa/fpy). Supplemented by the literature, a minimum target
lifetime τmin of 2.6 years (33 Ah) is concluded.},
