Description
The goal of IMPACT project (Isotope and Muon Production using Advanced Cyclotron
and Target technologies) is the construction of two new target stations and beamlines
at the high-intensity proton accelerator HIPA. The project consists of two subprojects HIMB
and TATTOOS. This presentation will focus exclusively on the HIMB subproject.
The pre-phase of the HIMB project has already started with various preparation works and the main upgrade works will take place in 2028–2030. The aim of HIMB is to upgrade the existing muon target at HIPA, which will lead to an increase of the available muon rate by up to a factor 100.
From the technical point of view, reaching this objective requires significant dismantling and installation work. This demands careful and detailed planning in advance. In my talk, I will present the planning approach and give an overview of the dismantling and assembly activities, highlighting some specific technical topics and challenges.
