The High-Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project aims to design a scalable compact accelerator driven neutron source (CANS) which is competitive and cost-efficient. The concept allows one to optimize the whole facility including accelerator, target, moderators and neutron optics to the demands of individual neutron instruments. Particle type, energy, timing, and pulse structure of the accelerator are fully defined by the requirements of a given neutron instrument. In the following, we present the current status of the HBS project.
Nuclear reaction and target for primary neutron generationThe neutron production at an accelerator driven compact neutron source is based on nuclear reactions in a suit-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
