US tests materials for neutrino targets to endure proton bombardment
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: materials, particle physics
Fermilab is tackling the extreme conditions generated in neutrino experiments to ensure the success of future research.
“Researchers need to overcome three challenges to make a lasting target: radiation damage, high temperatures and stress from thermal expansion,” remarked the press release.
Nanofibers, incredibly thin threads with exceptional strength and flexibility, are being investigated for their ability to better absorb the shock of the proton beam.
