Simulation of effusion from targets of tilted foils Original Research Article

Replacing a target transverse to the beam by a 10 times thinner one tilted at about 6o from the beam direction reduces the thickness for heat transfer and diffusion by a factor of 10 while keeping the same production thickness. This concept makes the target cool faster and therefore supports higher beam power. Monte-Carlo effusion simulations of targets based on this concept were carried out to find optimum target geometries for both fast and slow diffusion materials.
