Scope of the Workshop

ACCELERATORS

• High power, highly reliable Front Ends
• High intensity light ions Linacs : systems design, beam dynamics, performance and current projects, reliability issues,
• Synergies with ongoing and planned projects on accelerator driven systems, transmutation, neutrino factories, HEP injectors, materials science
• Beam loss handling and diagnostics systems for high brightness hadron accelerators,
• Current state of theory and simulation tools, confronting predictions with experiment,
• Low-energy superconducting structures, how competitive are for energies below 100 MeV,
• Radio frequency issues: where are we on high-gradient cavities and high power couplers, and current expectancies; current problems with the operation of high power, high duty cycle klystron/modulator systems,
• Compatibility of the proposed ESS design with future upgrades
• Energy usage, how to minimize electricity consumption without seriously compromising the performance

TARGETS

• Spallation targets from liquid-metal and liquid metallic-alloys : Experiments and simulations on liquid metal loops
• Solid metallic targets : known limits and mitigation schemes for thermal loads,
• The Target/Reflector/Moderator complex, available simulation tools and current problems.
