90. Target exchange system for the HBS HiCANS neutron source

Johannes Baggemann (JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany)

22/10/2025, 16:00

Presentation

Within the Jülich High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project Forschungszentrum Jülich is developing a novel High Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Source (HiCANS). The HBS generates neutrons using nuclear (p,n) reactions caused by a pulsed proton beam. The target has a design life of one year. Due to the high activation after one year of operation, the replacement process must be carried...

89. Design and development of a 3 MeV lithium target for the High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS)

Sivaraj Aditya Sambamurthy (JCNS-2, Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH)

22/10/2025, 16:15

Presentation

Within the High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project, Forschungszentrum Jülich is developing a novel High Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Source (HiCANS). The concept is scalable, ranging from low-flux university-based sources to high-flux facilities equipped with a full instrument suite for user operation. At the heart of any neutron source is the target, which determines both neutron...

66. The Moderator Test Station at the Spallation Neutron Source

Erik Iverson (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

22/10/2025, 16:30

Presentation

Oak Ridge National Laboratory operates the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), which provides high-intensity slow neutron beams for a variety of condensed matter, engineering, and basic physics applications with a 2 MW 1.3 GeV proton beam incident on a mercury target. The fast neutrons produced in the target must be efficiently moderated to low energies via moderators, sometimes called cold...

6. Testing of the Second Target Station In-Monolith Optics Alignment Process

Ms Danielle Wilson (ORNL)

Presentation

Similar to other neutron scattering facilities around the world, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Second Target Station (STS) will require beamline optics to be blindly installed into its central monolith. For STS, this installation involves three types of modules: 1) Monolith Inserts which provide a helium environment for the optics and isolate the target vacuum environment, 2) Optics Modules...
