The Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) will be a prototype of the Project X front end that will be used to validate the design concept and decrease technical risks. One of the most challenging components of PXIE is the wide-band chopping system of the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section, which will form an arbitrary bunch pattern from the initially CW 162.5 MHz 5mA beam. The present scenario assumes diverting 80% of the beam to an absorber to provide a beam with the average current of 1mA to SRF linac. This absorber must withstand a high level of energy deposition and high ion fluence, while being positioned in proximity of the superconductive cavities. This paper discusses design considerations for the absorber, including specific challenges as spreading of energy deposition, management of temperatures and temperature-induced mechanical stresses, radiation effects, surface effects (sputtering and blistering), and maintaining vacuum quality. Thermal and mechanical analyses of a conceptual design are presented, and future plans for the fabrication and testing of a prototype are described.

  The Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) is a prototype of the Project X front end. A 30 MeV 50 kW H beam will be used to validate the design concept of the Project X. This paper discusses a design of the accelerator enclosure radiation shielding and the beam dump. Detailed energy deposition and activation simulation were performed with the MARS15 code. The simulation results guided the design of the installation enclosure.
