High Power Targets
We are a partner of choice for new and existing accelerator facilities requiring innovative target technology, including the T2K Neutrino Facility in Japan and the Long-baseline Neutrino Facility at Fermilab in the USA.
Our expertise spans the complete lifecycle, from concept and design, through prototyping, manufacture, and commissioning.
As a one-stop shop for target technology, our capabilities include:
- Research and development of new target technologies for next-generation facilities.
- Design of accelerator beam-intercepting devices.
- Target materials research and testing.
- Specialised manufacturing techniques for high-radiation environments.
- Engineering and physics simulation, with seamless data exchange between simulation environments.
- Complete target assembly delivery with ongoing maintenance and support.
- Safe and effective remote handling of radioactive components.
- Diagnosis and management of thermal problems in extreme environments.
We are a part of the RaDIATE Collaboration, which brings together materials scientists and the accelerator target community to address target and beam window challenges through coordinated in-beam experiments and post-irradiation examination.
