RaDIATE LOGOLogo idea in upper right hand cornerIdea is hexagonal crystal with 2 atoms knocked

out of lattice to form an “R”Graphite and Be are both HCPAny other ideas?Thanks to Brian Hartsell’s rendering!

Agenda RaDIATE News (MOU status, Postdoc recruitment status, etc.) White Board Parameter Space Table Update Irradiate Materials Table Update Oxford team update (C. English/S. Roberts/B. Jones/J. Marrow) MARS DPA calculation overview (N. Mokhov) Graphite Irradiation Creep paper discussion

Is creep an issue with targets/windows? How low can we go? (in energy of proton beam and still get

meaningful results that translate to the high energy regime) Next Meeting

RaDIATE NewsMOU

“pre-approved” by all Being submitted by FNAL to DOE

Post-doc recruitment Job description? Advertising in December?

Project X Energy Station Workshop Currently only domestic (US) participation Explore 1 MW proton target facility for nuclear energy

research applications (irradiated nuclear materials) RaDIATE in “reverse” (how can accelerators help NE?) January 29-30, 2013

White-board Parameter Space Table

Latest version on RaDIATE web-siteLink to file

Re-organized the dataUpdated the dataAdded Gas Production/DPA columnPlease review and help fill in missing informationAdded Operating Conditions footnoteThanks Kavin!

Irradiated Materials TableUpdated version on RaDIATE site

Link to fileUpdated lots of informationAdded gas production/DPA columnStill many blanks or unconfirmed informationTables good enough to see overlap?Thanks again Kavin!

P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 11

Graphite Irradiation Creep Discussion

12/13/12

Besides discussion of paper, what about: Is creep an issue with targets/windows?How low can we go? (in energy of proton beam

and still get meaningful results that translate to the high energy regime)

P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 12

Next MeetingMid-January?How does it fit with recruitment schedule?

(interviews probable in what time frame?)

P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 13

Action Item List from November

Review MOU for “signability” at each institution and let Pat know ASAP

Review and firm up “white board” table for parameter space (imperative to have this done by next month’s meeting)

Review and fill out Irradiated Materials Table (imperative to have this in better shape by next month’s meeting)

Pat to start Doodle Poll for December meeting

Oxford Stage 1 team to review draft LBNE BLIP graphite irradiation report (on web-site) to help inform Stage 1 development

Steve Roberts to generate post-doc position description draft and distribute

12/13/12

P. Hurh RaDIATE December 2012 Meeting 14

Action Item List from November

Brian Hartsell to establish list-serv address for RaDIATE

S. Brooks and P. Hurh to coordinate web-site information (PASI and RaDIATE)

Nick Simos, Pat Hurh, and Kavin Ammigan to continue graphite irradiation research at BLIP
