Abstract

A high-intensity proton beam irradiation (N-tildefr = 3-4 mm, ~190 MeV, 1-15 mA) of the LiLiT device was performed at SARAF The experiments are a first demonstration of a free surface liquid lithium target proton irradiation and dissipation of of ~4 kW/cm2 and >05 MW/cm3 proton power densities This high power dissipation shows that the setup at SARAF can be used for the production of high intensity epithermal neutrons and demonstrates the applicability of this new concept to accelerator-based BNCT and for innovative nuclear astrophysics research We plan to use LiLiT in the future also with a deuteron beam for fast neutron production and radioactive ion production The experience gained with LiLiT will serve in the design of an upgraded target for higher beam energies (up to 40 MeV) that are expected at Phase II of SARAF
