The TRIUMF-ISAC facility target stations were designed for ISOL target irradiations with up to 100 μA proton beam currents.
In contrast, the advantages of multiple simultaneous target stations at several beam energies makes this device especially attractive.
Predicting the consequences of highly energetic particle beams impacting protection devices as collimators or high power target stations is a fundamental issue in the design of state-of-the-art facilities for high-energy particle physics.
The STB ring is now producing a continuous electron beam with energies up to 250 MeV for external target stations, and is ready to deliver a tagged photon beam with energies up to 1.1 GeV.
The production of 123I and 18F will be performed in dedicated, commercial target stations, while a versatile solid target irradiation system is designed for the routine and experimental production of all other radioisotopes.
Results of the MARS15 code application to the design of target stations for two experiments – a muon-to-electron conversion experiment Mu2e and the prospective multi-purpose ProjectX Energy Station at Fermilab – are presented.
