    Physics and Engineering Aspects of High Power Electron Beam Dump for TARLA
    (Ankara Üniversitesi Nükleer Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2018) Erenler, D.; Aksoy, A.; Other; Other
    Beam dumps are commonly used in particle accelerators, to absorb safely, stop and neutralize the high energetic particle beams without any harm to their organic and inorganic surroundings including the beam line itself. Thermal, nuclear and mechanical properties of the system are important for their operability and functionality. Depending on the energy and parameters of particles hitting the beam dump, the beam will transfer heat to the system, and may create radioactive material in beam dump. On the other hand, due to their complex structure, the components used to form beam dumps must be mechanically manufacturable, interchangeable and redundant. In this work, the design aspects of high power electron beam dump for the TARLA (Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory in Ankara) Facility -under construction at the Institute of Accelerator Technologies of Ankara University- were discussed. Several beam dump options were taken into account by focusing on nuclear interactions and radioactive properties of the dump. Various core materials such as aluminium, copper, carbon or alloys were compared by using FLUKA and Geant4 simulation tools. Shielding materials and geometries such as lead, concrete have been also taken into account.
