Abstract:An important element of an accelerator-controlled electronuclear setup is the liquid-metal target, where neutron production due to nuclear-physical reactions on the nuclei of the liquid-metal coolant occurs and the bulk of the energy of the particles from the accelerator is released.At present there are two basic concepts of the construction of a liquid-metal target: with and without a dense rigid stopper. In the first case the target cavity either is in direct communication with the volume of the liquid-metal… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
