Meeting 13 September 2019

DISCUSSION MATERIAL

CPS Simulation Status (Gabriel)

CPS configurations (from previous meeting)

CPS Article V0

ACTION ITEMS

• CPS simulations

• start discussion on how to make a more general version (flexible geometries, output, etc)
• Gabriel's ToDo list:

• Validate model (magnetic fields, materials, geometries)
• Study influence of density of W powder
• "egg"-shape shielding
• re-check all normalizations

• short write-up on FLUKA conversion factor (David H)

• Article

• Implement all comments received so far and circulate new version (Tanja, Rolf)
• Further optimize for journal publication (David H)

Discussion Details

• Discussion CPS model and simulations

• Four configurations implemented
• Page 5: Radiation level after 1 hour of cooling - results seem to have the expected trends; vertical axis shows mrem/hr (note: target is ~< few mrem/hr)
• Page 7: prompt radiation seems fine for any of the four configurations
• FLUKA conversion factor - Parker Reid, David H, and Bodgan benchmarked the fluence 3-4 months ago and found FLUKA/GEANT4 conversion consistent
• Thoughts on how to generalize simulation - Gabriel and Sean might meet in person to discuss details

• CPS article discussion

• Current draft (comments not yet implemented) could benefit from additional optimizations, and in particular separating specifics and general information

• CPS funding

• NSF MRI option
• Possible UK contribution

NEXT MEETING: FRIDAY 11 OCTOBER at 11:00 AM (ET)
