Nanoscale lithium evaporation and behavior in a superconducting linear accelerator of a future fusion neutron source A-FNS
The fusion neutron source (A-FNS) project is underway at the Rokkasho Institute for Fusion Energy, QST, in Japan. The A-FNS will conduct fusion neutron irradiation tests of fusion reactor materials. A high-intensity deuteron (D) beam accelerator with a Li target has been designed to produce large amounts of neutrons by the D-Li reaction.
The A-FNS linac comprises a superconducting linac and a free-surface liquid Li target. Because the degradation of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities by Li contamination is of concern, a dedicated beam line design for reducing Li back streaming and a study of the Li behavior in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) are necessary. However, the relationship between the SRF performance and Li contamination remains unclear. To clarify this, we designed a nanoscale Li evaporation system to inject Li vapor into SRF cavities and investigated the behavior of the Li vapor.
This paper reports the development and operational results of the nanoscale Li evaporation apparatus.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
