Work Packages

The target work packages are as follows:

WP1: Generic tools for high power target development and operation
- Tasks: target monitoring systems, high-Z target studies
- Coordinator: David Jenkins
WP2: ISIS upgrades
- Tasks: ISIS studies (existing target, upgrade to 0.5MW, new target at 1 or 5MW), ESS studies (5MW green field)
- Coordinator: Matt Fletcher
WP3: Fluidised tungsten
- Task: Engineering related to flowing tungsten powder target
- Coordinator: Chris Densham

A PDF table of all milestones for the PASI targets UK project (last modified 2013-Jan-14), including schedule (Jun 2012–Mar 2016).

PASI plenary meetings will occur every 4-6 months, with work-package-specific meetings occurring at least every 2 months.

Presentations from the meetings will be available under each meeting below.

Collaborators and interested parties to this project should apply to join the PASI-TARGETS mailing list (e-mail: PASI-TARGETS@jiscmail.ac.uk).

PASI Targets has limited funds for capital (equipment), so no single item over £10k is allowed. Items over £500 need approval from Rob Edgecock.

All PASI-funded overseas travel also needs approval from Rob, if you send a short e-mail with an approximate cost estimate.
