Preliminary Research of Sliding Contact Cooling Method for ILC Positron Source Target

A new scheme that cooling international Linear Collider (ILC) positron source target by touching thermal conduction (TTC) is presented by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL).Recent results of simulation for cooling the iron targets with 300 and 450 W heat reservoir by ANSYS and experiment of cooling the iron target with 300 and 450 W friction heat reservoir at Institute of Modern Physics (IMP),Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS),have proved that the TTC has good cooling effect in low temperature zone (20℃~50℃),and preliminarily verified the feasibility of TTC for cooling the ILC positron source target.
