Abstract
A molten salt target is currently proposed for the production of high rates of Ne-18 required for the beta beams project. Intermediate proton energy beams at close to 1 MW power are used on a circulating molten NaF eutectic to produce and extract 1 x 10(13) Ne-18/s.
A conceptual design of such a circulating loop is presented. The application of a molten salt target for the monitoring of noble gas production is discussed with respect to the planned experimental program, which will be used to validate the proposed concept. Furthermore, a systematic experimental study on the production and release of gaseous and volatile elements from molten sodium-based targets, in preparation at CERN-ISOLDE, is presented.
