Rotary water-cooled beryllium target for compact neutron source

The device is designed to generate neutrons and to remove heat from a beryllium target as part of a neutron source..

The special design of the target makes it possible to remove a large amount of heat from the beryllium target under the proton beam exposure. The system is a drum on which beryllium segments are installed. The constant rotation of the drum makes it possible to alternately irradiate all segments of the target. This makes it possible to reduce the thermal load per unit area of the target.

• Efficient heat removal: 2 kW and more;
• Power of proton beam: 13 MeV;
• Rotation frequency: 10 Hz;
• Can be updating for a wide spectrum of powers.

Detector protection device for the protection of flat detectors

The invention offers an efficient solution to the aforementioned problems and is based on a device with a smart algorithm for automated beamstop placement.

The invention comprises a detector protection method which provides a fast and reliable way to determine areas of the detector which have to be protected by absorbers automatically. The new detector protection device enables an fast and very precise positioning of absorbers (e.g. W pieces) on a thin X-ray transparent carrier plate according to the determined position pattern. The absorbers are precisely moved by a software-controlled positioning arm, which is equipped with a manipulator. More than 100 absorbers can be placed, repositioned, and recollected to magazines.

The prototype of the device has already been successfully employed in several beamtimes at beamlines P21.2 of the PETRA III synchrotron at DESY and beamline ID31 of the ESRF.
