The 3MW of used proton
beam
•Some engineering
cross-sections of the target area show where
the proton beam can leave and be
dumped
•However, some of these have solenoids with coils only on the “convenient” side!
•The
mercury jet target is sometimes drawn with
the beam dumped in the mercury pool (but why make
it more radioactive than is really
necessary?)
