abstract = {In recent years, the interest in low energy compact
accelerator-driven neutron sources (CANS)has increased
worldwide. The focus of this interest is shifting more and
more from smalluniversity based CANS to powerful high flux
CANS that have the potential to replace currentreactor based
neutron sources and possible alternatives to spallation
sources.Within the framework of the Jülich High Brilliance
Neutron Source (HBS) project, a high fluxaccelerator based
neutron source is developed. One of the key components as
well as themain power-limiting factor is the target that
releases neutrons from the impinging protonsvia nuclear
reactions. Since the neutron yield of nuclear reactions is
quite small, this iscompensated with a high proton current.
However, the high proton current leads to a strongheat
release inside the target. At the same time the target has
to be very compact to allowthe subsequent extraction of a
neutron beam with a high brilliance. Overall, this leads
tounique requirements of the HBS target given by a 70 MeV
pulsed proton beam with a peakcurrent of 100 mA and an
average thermal power release of 100 kW inside the target
with asurface area of 100 cm².A solid tantalum target
prototype with an innovative micro channel water cooling
structurewas developed, manufactured, and successfully
tested to match these requirements. Knownproblems from low
energy targets like blistering, limited heat dissipation and
highthermomechanical stresses have been consequently
minimized during the development.Feedback from the
production process helped to eliminate known weak points of
theprototype. The coolant erosion resistance of the micro
channel structure was demonstratedin a six-week endurance
experiment, to exclude possible concerns on this.
Furthermore, thetarget was successfully high heat flux
tested at ~1 kW/cm² in the electron beam facilityJUDITH 2
and with these measurements the design simulations of the
target could bevalidated. The specifics of the HBS target
concept as well as the results of the experimentalheat load
and erosion tests will be presented.},
