Application of C-11 Gas Target Using Finite Element Method

FEM을 이용한 C-11 기체표적의 성능평가

In this research the energy degrader, which is the most fragile part of the security of a target, has been newly designed to improve the performance of the gas target. Also, the numerical analysis of the heat movement and mechanical movement during the operation of the target has been accomplished. The heat analysis and structure analysis which are using the cooling water flow and pressure in the energy degrader and the Nastran mediocrity finite element analysis program, has been considered with the heat movement and mechanical movement according to the current capacity of proton beam which determines the production yield of the radioactive isotope. Also the possible use range has been determined, and at the same time the most suitable running condition according to the current capacity of proton beam has been suggested.
