Abstract

The UK programme of high power target developments for a Neutrino Factory is centred 011 the study of high-Z materials (tungsten, tantalum). A description of lifetime shock tests on candidate materials is given as part of the research into a solid target solution. A fast high current pulse is applied to a thin wire of the sample material and the lifetime measured from the number of pulses before failure. It has been found that tantalum is too weak at these temperatures but a tungsten wire has reached over 26 million pulses, equivalent to more than ten years of operation at the Neutrino Factory.
