Descripción
TOF-DONES is a high intensity neutron time-of-flight facility designed for IFMIF-DONES. The idea is to extract, in a pulsed way, 0.1% of the deuteron beam and send it to room R026. There, the deuteron pulses will impact a target, possibly made of graphite or berillium, generating neutrons. These neutrons will then travel along different time-of-flight beam lines in vacuum to the experimental areas. The objective of the installation is to perform neutron measurements of interest to fission and fusion technologies, astrophysics, medical physics, nuclear structure, dosimetry, and other fields.
In this workshop we will present the preliminary design of TOF-DONES, completed in the context of the DONES Consolidation Phase 1 project (2023-2025), including the description of the neutron converter, the different beam lines, shieldings, collimators... and the characteristics of the neutron beam in the different experimental areas.
