Dynamic Radiation Effects induced by Short-Pulsed U-ion Beams in Metallic Targets

A beam vacuum window is a thin interface of separation between a volume under
vacuum and a volume at higher pressure traversed by particle beams. Their application
is not limited to particle accelerators, where they are typically installed inside the beamline
to separate vacuum sectors, but also extends to other fields of nuclear research and to
high-power hadron beam applications, such as the Spallation Neutron Sources (SNS) and
the Accelerator-driven systems (ADS) ....................
