Abstract

The neutron spallation source SINQ at PSI features as a standard a solid state target consisting of Zircaloy tubes filled with lead (" cannelloni"). These targets are cooled with heavy water. SINQ is now being operated for the second decade at a power level of 1 MW. In front of the back ground of a power upgrade in PSI's proton accelerator and also thinking of the possibility of building ESS with a cannelloni type target, studies of the principal limits of this approach have commenced, and a first quick assessment gives encouraging results. Cooling certainly is the most questionable feature of cannelloni at high power; principal options at powers up to 5 MW shall be reported in this paper.
