Granular, solid targets made of fluidized tungsten powder or static pebble bed of tungsten spheres, have been proposed and are being studied as an alternative configurations towards high-power (1MW of beam power) target systems, suitable for a future Super Beam or Neutrino Factory. With the lack of experimental data on this field, a feasibility experiment was performed in HiRadMat facility of CERN/SPS that tried on a pulse-by-pulse basis to address the effect of the impact of the SPS beam (440GeV/c) on a static tungsten granular target. Online instrumentation such as high-speed photography and laser-Doppler vibrometry was employed. Preliminary results show a powder disruption speed of less than 0.6 m/s at 3E11 protons/pulse while the disruption speed appears to be scaling proportionally with the beam intensity.
