Prediction of the heat exchange in MEGAPIE facility by using RELAP5 code

Investigation of RELAP Capability to Simulate the LBE Cooling System Thermal-Hydraulic

The paper subject regards the validation of the RELAP5/Mod3.2.2B, the best estimate code modified to deal with fluids of interest for the XADS (eXperimental Accelerator Driven System), a Lead Bismuth Eutettic alloy (LBE) cooled ADS design set up at Ansaldo Industry. The validation will be made exploiting the experimental program carried out on support of XADS design and MEGAPIE experiment, at the ENEA Research Centre of Brasimone (Italy), making use of CHEOPE and CIRCE facilities. The comparison between experimental results and post test calculations allows the check ofthe code capability in simulating the 1Dym fluid-dynamic of heavy metals. In particular, CHEOPE tests have provided data fa…

The Large Hadron–Electron Collider at the HL-LHC

The Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC) is designed to move the field of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to the energy and intensity frontier of particle physics. Exploiting energy-recovery technology, it collides a novel, intense electron beam with a proton or ion beam from the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). The accelerator and interaction region are designed for concurrent electron-proton and proton-proton operations. This report represents an update to the LHeC's conceptual design report (CDR), published in 2012. It comprises new results on the parton structure of the proton and heavier nuclei, QCD dynamics, and electroweak and top-quark physics. It is shown how the LH…
