  The Beam Dump Facility (BDF) Project, currently in its design phase, is a proposed general-purpose fixed target facility at CERN, dedicated to the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment in its initial phase. At the core of the installation resides the target/dump assembly, whose aim is to fully absorb the high intensity 400 GeV/c SPS beam and produce charmed mesons. In addition to high thermo-mechanical loads, the most challenging aspects of the proposed installation lie in very high energy and power density deposition that are reached during operation. In order to validate the design of the BDF target, a scaled prototype is going to be tested during 2018 in the North Area at CERN, upstream the existing beryllium primary targets. The prototype testing under representative beam scenarios will allow having an insight of the material response in an unprecedented regime. Online monitoring and an extensive Post Irradiation Experimental (PIE) campaign are foreseen. The current contribution will detail the design and handling aspects of the innovative Target Complex as well as the design of the BDF target/dump core and the design and construction of the prototype target assembly.

  The future CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) internal dump (Target Internal Dump Vertical Graphite, known as TIDVG#5), to be installed during CERN's Long Shutdown 2 (2019-2020), will be required to intercept beam dumps from 26 to 450 GeV, with increased intensity and repetition rates with respect to its predecessor (TIDVG#4). The beam power to be managed by the dump will increase by approximately a factor of four; resulting in new challenges in terms of design in order to fulfil the highly demanding specification, which is based on guaranteeing a good performance of the machine with little or no limitations imposed by this device. This paper presents the proposed design, including material selection, manufacturing techniques and thermo-mechanical simulations under different operational scenarios expected during the lifetime of the device.
