An Instrument Suite for the HBS

Abstract

We have investigated an instrument suite for the High Brilliance Source, a High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Source proposed by the Forschungszentrum Jülich, to explore the potential of this type of facility for the European and German neutron user community. The investigated instrument concepts cover most types of applications currently in operation at existing user facilities. Providing individual target stations with a frequency, a pulse length and spectral properties matched to the hosted instruments is the key feature of the proposed source, which ensures instrument performance that exceeds that at recently shutdown research reactors and thus a source competitive with modern neutron user facilities.
