Meeting 2 June 2023

PARTICIPANTS: Amy Comer, Hovanes Egiyan, Bogdan Wojtsekhowski, Hamlet Mkrtchyan, Pavel Degtiarenko, Igor Strakovsky, Tanja Horn, Vardan Tadevosyan, Rolf Ent, Debaditya, Donal Day, Dustin Keller

CPS PROTOTYPE (Amy)

• prototype has been designed and built

• testing expected this summer

• results use to constrain thermal modeling - temperature profiles have been generated in FLUENT

• Questions:

• Water temperature difference between inlet and outlet: incoming 300 and outgoing 70
• When and where will the prototype test be performed: ongoing, parts are in, but need to be assembled
• How quickly warm up/cool down the prototype - if interlock does not work, how fast until the parts get too hot

• Action item: post slides

ROTATING TARGET SYSTEM (Dustin)

• Update on status of the target system - good progress with design - expect that basic validation can be done in a few months; beam tests require additional funding

• Without a rotating target system the polarization of the target would be lost within a few seconds

• Update on the target system would be good to include at the PAC51

• Action items:

• post slides
• provide information on materials in the target region as this will allow for more accurate activation radiation simulations

NEXT MEETING: FRIDAY 7 JULY AT 9:00AM ET
