  5. Transition Time to Restore HEP

  6. Concurrent HEP Operation with RHIC • From the performance data shown, it is clear that it is possible to operate AGS proton-based HEP research in concurrence with RHIC operation. • The available AGS HEP running is about 80% of the total RHIC operation time. • The HEP program only have to pay for incremental costs, which is a big savings from independent operation. • The co-existence of HEP and RHIC operations is very beneficial for both equipment reliability and personnel training.

  23. PHASE-II TARGET MATERIAL STUDY WHAT’S NEXT ? PERFORM irradiation and assess mechanical property changes for a host of baseline materials. Perform more sophisticated assessment • Carbon-Carbon composite • This low-Z composite gives the indication that it can minimize the thermal shock and survive high intensity pulses. • Because of its premise it is the baseline target material for the BNL neutrino superbeam initiative. • The way its key properties (such as CTE or strength) degrade with radiation is unknown. • Titanium Ti-6Al-4V alloy • The evaluation of the fracture toughness changes due to irradiation is of interest regarding this alloy • that combines good tensile strength and relatively low CTE • Toyota “Gum Metal” • This alloy with the ultra-low elastic modulus, high strength , super-elastic like nature and near-zero linear expansion • coefficient for the temperature range -200 oC to +250 oC to be assessed for irradiation effects on these properties. • VASCOMAX • This very high strength alloy that can serve as high-Z target to be evaluated for effects of irradiation on CTE, • fracture toughness and ductility loss • AlBeMet • A low-Z composite that combines good properties of Be and Al. Effects of irradiation on CTE and mechanical • properties need to be assessed • TG-43 Graphite • Possibly Nickel-plated Aluminum T6061 (Horn material) for visible irradiation/corrosion effects, loss of electrical conductivity, delamination, etc.

  24. Preliminary Cost Estimate of the BNL - SNBF • Accelerator Systems Total Direct Cost = $156.8 M$

  25. Preliminary Cost Estimate – Continued • Total Direct Cost=$156.8 M • Add: ED&I, 15% • Contingency, 30% • BNL Project Overhead, 13% • Total Estimated Cost = $265 M

  26. Conclusions • The feasibility has been demonstrated for a 1MW upgrade for the AGS • It is possible to further upgrade the AGS to 2 MW • Active R&D efforts are in progress to improve on the design and reduce cost. • Such a high power proton driver is essential for very long base line neutrino experiment and also for the neutrino factory.
