Calculations of high-power production target and beamdump for the GSI future Super-FRS for a fast extraction scheme at the FAIR Facility

A superconducting fragment separator (Super-FRS) was designed to carry out experiments on the production and separation of rare radioactive isotopes at the future FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research) facility at Darmstadt. The calculations of a proposed high-power production target for the Super-FRS using a fast extraction scheme. The production target has to be used over an extended period of time and therefore it must survive successive irradiations by the primary ion beam. The calculations show that special care must be taken to avoid serious equipment damage in case of an accident while operating with such powerful beams.
