BEAM ENERGY ABSORBER AT ACCELERATION/STORAGE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: accelerators. SUBSTANCE: absorber has a core, made in the form of a set of disks of carbon/carbon composition material on the base of high-module graphite fiber forming braided or weaved multi-layer disk skeleton with matrix formed of pyrolytic carbon. The disks have thinned wall on its periphery and are alternated with metal plates when assembled installed between thinned walls so to form ribbed contact surface equidistant to disk package. Outer end surfaces of the plates form surface of cooled shell. Fillers of high-melting metal carbide powders may be introduced in pyrolytic carbon matrix. Disk package length may be composed of sections. Clamping threaded studs are used to press together disk and plates walls in the sections. When the absorber is in operation, heat generated in the core at the expense of material heat conductivity is transported to metal plates through contacting side surfaces and removed outside through metal shell surface cooled by convection. EFFECT: provided is absorber serviceability when proton beam energy is increased up to 3000 GeV in the acceleration/storage system. 4 cl, 4 dwg
