At the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), a pulsed spallation neutron
source provides neutrons with high intensity and narrow pulse width pulse to promote …

During operation of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
the mechanical properties of the AISI 316L target module are altered by high-energy neutron …

In an effort to develop and design next generation high power target materials for particle

From a modest beginning of a few kW of beam power spallation sources have now evolved
into systems that must be able to handle several MW, mostly delivered in short pulses of less …

The spallation neutron source target station is designed to safely, reliably, and efficiently
convert a 1 GeV beam of protons to a high flux of about 1 meV neutrons that are available at …

Cavitation is a dynamic phenomenon occurring in fluid flows, where the local static pressure
is lower than the saturated vapor pressure at working temperature. The growth and collapse …

We describe the measurement of fast dynamic strains in the mercury target module of the
spallation neutron source using customized high-radiation-tolerant fiber-optic strain sensors …

Equations for the nonaxisymmetric modes that are axially and circumferentially propagating
in a liquid-filled tube with elastic walls surrounded by air/vacuum are presented using exact …
