Experiment exposing refractory metals to impacts of 440  GeV/c proton beams for the future design of the CERN antiproton production target: Experiment design and online results

The HRMT27-RodTarg experiment employed the HiRadMat facility at CERN to impact intense 440 GeV proton beams onto thin rods 8 mm in diameter, 140 mm in length, and made of high-density materials such as Ir, W, Ta, Mo, and alloys. The purpose of the experiment was to reduce uncertainties on the CERN a...
