Dynamic Response of Graphitic Targets with Tantalum Cores Impacted by Pulsed 440-GeV Proton Beams

Figure 2

Front face of sample #5 SGL carbon premium with dimensions of the tantalum core (3 mm) and surrounding graphite (ø10 mm). The fiber reinforcement is clearly visible and is normal to the cylinder axis (a). Detailed view of the individual samples of target station 6. The arrow on the left indicates the beam direction. More information about the target materials is presented in Table 1 (b).
