Design of high power neutron converter for the SPIRAL-2 facility

Thermo-mechanical simulations performed in order to determine the basic geometry and physical characteristics of the neutron production target for SPIRAL-2 facility, to define the appropriate beam power distribution, and to predict the target behavior under the deuteron beam of nominal parameters (40 MeV, 5 mA, 200 kW) are presented. The simulation is done on the basis of ANSYS program complex
