Abstract
Many of the experiments in high-energy physics conducted at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator require the use of a liquid hydrogen target. A typicai hydrogen target system (Fig. 1) includes a liquid hydrogen vessel with very thin Mylar windows contained within a vacuum chamber which also has thin windows. Since the hazards created by the accidental failure of these fragile windows is potentially great, but not clearly defined, a test program was initiated to: 1. Establish the behavior of typical liquid hydrogen target systems when subjected to various failure modes. 2. Provide the basic parameters for the possible future development of a system for the suppression and control of fires and explosions in hydrogen target areas.
