A very promising application of nanofiber mats lies in the field of accelerator technology: beam targets made from nanofiber mats offer a solution to the problem of advancing the "intensity frontier"–-the limit on the beam intensities that can be realized in fixed target experiments and neutrino production facilities.

In this work, we will use multiphysics simulations to perform a thermal study on how nanofiber targets react to high intensity beams, so that the dependency of the targets’ lifetime on their construction parameters can be better understood.

TUXD1	Radiation Concerns and Mitigation Schemes for Accelerator Facility Components
	F. Pellemoine Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois, USA
	Major accelerator facilities are limited in beam power not by their accelerators but by the beam intercepting device survivability. In some cases, the target must endure high power pulsed beam, leading to high cycle thermal shocks. Most of the time, the increased beam power creates significant challenges such as corrosion and radiation damage that causes harmful effects on the material and degrades their mechanical and thermal properties during irradiation. This can eventually lead to the failure of the material and drastically reduced lifetime of targets and beam intercepting devices. In order to operate reliable beam-intercepting devices in the framework of energy and intensity increase projects of the future, it is essential to develop a strong R&D program and have synergy with various expertise. Based on those strong R&D programs, several ways exist to mitigate radiation damage in material in order to increase lifetime of targets in accelerators. After presenting the high-power target challenges facing next generation accelerators with few examples of international facilities, I will provide few ways to mitigate radiation damages in target material.
