  11. SUMMARY & OUTLOOK • Development of a methodology for in-target yields optimization •  MCNPX/CINDER simulations •  progressive construction of a database for simulated nuclei yields • Implementation of simple analysis programs for a fast navigation into the database content •  use of the database for target design optimization (examples of 183Hg or 11Be) • Extension of the methodology to additional direct targets (ex: Nb) and two- • staged (fission) targets • Relevance of simulation results is conditioned by the relevance of • spallation models (especially for light targets) and completeness of • cross section libraries • Final steps towards target designoptimization will require ion extraction • efficiencies

  12. Outlook (continued) a) we contributed already in the double stage target for 6He beam production, namely p+W-->xn+Be. This work was already reported. b) we made some preliminary calculations on an alternative production of fission fragments using solid target-converter, namely p+Wxn+UCx. One could also try to work on d+Li,Be  xn+UCx. c) we did some calculation also in the case of presently « reference » MMW target p+Hgxn+U235, U238, and Th232 resulting in in-target fission yield distributions. We have the numbers and should report on that by the end of this year. d) Today there is a new design of the MMW target station based on MAFF concept. As our last contribution we will provide in this case different yields from p+Hgxn + various targets (U235, U238, Th232, and BeO). This we will be able to report early next spring. S. Chabod will leave CEA Saclay on 1 October  we look for another PostDoc candidate to continue this work!
