Neutron Sources: Developments and Foresight
- Mirijam Zobel (RWTH Aachen University)
ISIS-II is a project to explore and advance a successor facility to the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. ISIS-II is expected to complement the international neutron landscape foreseen for the second half of the 21$^{\textrm{st}}$ Century. It will be a short pulse neutron and muon source covering a wide range of science areas consistent with ISIS user community’s interests. The facility...
Neutron Physics Laboratory (NPL) of CANAM infrastructure (operated by Nuclear Physics Institute Řež), canam.ujf.cas.cz/npl, and its instrumentation for investigation of structure and microstructure of advanced materials will be presented. NPL consist of five neutron diffractometers (residual stress scanning, powder diffraction, small-angle neutron scattering, in-situ thermomechanical tests and...
The Reactor Institute Delft (RID) is the only research facility in the Netherlands that uses neutron- and positron beam line instruments for academic research. The 2.3 MW research reactor not only facilitates beam-line instruments that offer the unique opportunities of this special radiation but operates irradiation facilities where isotopes can be produced for heath research or element...
With 250 days per year of user operations and a suite of 15 neutron beam instruments, the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) is considered one of the most convenient user facilities worldwide to perform neutron beam experiments. ACNS operations relies on the 300 days per year at power by OPAL reactor, one of the youngest and reliable reactors. This presentation will discuss the...
Aiming for highest neutron peak brightness, limits are set by the capabilities of heat removal and for pulsed sources even more by the instantaneous power impact. In this respect, the long pulse ESS is still below its limits and has a high potential to boost its performance. Considering the current ESS, the goal should be a compression of proton pulses near to 50 to 100 µs, comparable to the...
