A 650 mm Long Liquid Hydrogen Target for Use in a High Intensity Electron Beam

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 29))

Abstract

This paper describes a 650 mm long liquid hydrogen target constructed for use in the high intensity electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, (SLAC). The main design problem was to construct a target that would permit the heat deposited by the electron beam to be removed rapidly without boiling the hydrogen so as to maintain constant target density for optimum data taking. Design requirements, construction details and operating experience are discussed.
