TI - Latest Advances in Targetry Systems at CERN and Exciting Avenues for Future Endeavours J2 - Proc. of HB2023, Geneva, Switzerland, 09-13 October 2023 CY - Geneva, Switzerland T2 - ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on High-Intensity and High-Brightness Hadron Beams T3 - 68 LA - english AB - CERN’s accelerator complex offers diverse target systems for a range of scientific pursuits, including varying beam energies, intensities, pulse lengths, and objectives. Future high-intensity fixed target experiments aim to advance this field further. This contribution highlights upgraded operational target systems, enhancing CERN’s physics endeavours. One example is the third-generation n_TOF spallation neutron target, using a nitrogen-cooled pure lead system impacted by a 20 GeV/c proton beam. Another focuses on recent antiproton production target upgrades, with a high-intensity 26 GeV/c beam colliding with a narrow-air-cooled iridium target. Looking ahead, new high-power target systems are planned. One aims to discover hidden particles using a 350-kW high-Z production target, while another enhances kaon physics through a 100 kW low-Z target. This article provides an overview of current target systems at CERN, detailing beam-intercepting devices and engineering aspects. It also previews upcoming facilities that could soon be implemented at CERN.
