A Proof-of-principle Experiment for a High-power Target System<br />

We describe an experiment designed to<br />

demonstrate, as a proof-of- principle, a target H.G. Kirk (BNL) K.T. McDonald (PU)<br />

system capable of producing intense muon<br />

beams when exposed to a 4MW proton beam. The system will utilize a free liquid mercury jet embedded in a very<br />

high field solenoid. Tests will be conducted utilizing the 24 GeV <strong>CERN</strong> PS proton beam in the spring of 2007.<br />

Analysis of Availability and Reliability in RHIC Operations<br />

RHIC has been successfully operated for five<br />

years as a collider for different species, rang- F.C. Pilat, P. Ingrassia (BNL)<br />

ing from heavy ions including gold and copper,<br />

to polarized protons. We present a critical analysis of reliability data for RHIC that not only identifies the<br />

principal factors limiting availability but also evaluates critical choices at design times and assess their impact on<br />

present machine performance. RHIC availability data are compared to similar high-energy colliders and synchrotron<br />

light sources. The critical analysis of operations data is the basis for studies and plans to improve RHIC machine<br />

availability beyond the 60% typical of high-energy collider.<br />
