EURISOL-DS Multi-MW Target. Test predictions for the converter target

The Eurisol project has been initiated by the European Commission to demonstrate the
feasibility of a facility for producing large yields of exotic isotopes.
At the core of the projected facility, the neutron source produces spallation neutrons from a
proton beam impacting dense liquid metal. The liquid metal circulates at high speed inside
the source, a closed vessel with a beam window. The type of the design is diversely
described as coaxially guided stream or CGS; an outer annulus converges towards a
concave conical shell from which the liquid metal reverses back in the opposite direction.
The current CGS design of the source has been built and is to be tested. This technical
report summarises preparations for the test and predictions.
