Although the DPA is employed as the standard, the experimental data of displacement cross section are scarce for a proton in the energy region above 20 MeV. Among the calculation models, the difference exists about 8 times so that experimental data of the displacement cross section is crucial to validate the model. To obtain the displacement cross section, we conducted the experiment in J-PARC. As a preliminary result, the displacement cross section of copper was successfully obtained for 3-GeV proton. The present results showed that the widely utilized the Norgertt-Robinson-Torrens (NRT) model overestimates the cross section as suggested by the previous experiment for protons with lower energy.","PeriodicalId":277265,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Spallation Materials Technology","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115509715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methodologies for the irradiation and post-irradiation examination of grease samples are developed. The different degree of radiation tolerance of the tested samples was compared. Some of the greases showed dramatic radiation-induced changes of their physical properties, while others remain stable up to the highest values of delivered absorbed dose.","PeriodicalId":277265,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Spallation Materials Technology","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121673628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, relatively little is known about how material properties of this alloy are affected by high-intensity proton beam irradiation. With plans to upgrade neutrino facilities at J-PARC and Fermilab to over 1 MW beam power, the radiation damage in the window material will reach a few displacements per atom (dpa) per year, significantly above the ~0.3 dpa level of existing data. The RaDIATE collaboration has conducted a high intensity proton beam irradiation of various target and window material specimens at BLIP facility, including a variety of titanium alloys. Post-Irradiation Examination of the specimens in the 1st capsule, irradiated at up to 0.25 dpa, is in progress. Tensile tests in a hot cell at PNNL exhibited a clear signature of radiation hardening and loss of ductility for Ti-6Al-4V, while Ti-3Al-2.5V, with less beta phase, exhibited less severe hardening. Microstructural investigations will follow to study the cause of the difference in tensile behavior between these alloys. High-cycle fatigue (HCF) performance is critical to the lifetime estimation of beam windows exposed to a periodic thermal stress from a pulsed proton beam. The 1st HCF data on irradiated titanium alloys are to be obtained by a conventional bend fatigue test at Fermilab and by an ultrasonic mesoscale fatigue test at Culham Laboratory. Specimens in the 2nd capsule, irradiated at up to ~1 dpa, cover typical titanium alloy grades, including possible radiation-resistant candidates. These systematic studies on the effects of radiation damage of titanium alloys are intended to enable us to predict realistic lifetimes of current beam windows made of Ti-6Al-4V and to extend the lifetime by choosing a more radiation and thermal shock tolerant alloy.","PeriodicalId":277265,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Spallation Materials Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130345266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
