Despite the commissioning of the ESS only about half of neutron capacity will be available for research in Europe in the next decade due to the outage of aging reactors. There is an urgent need for a new class of efficient neutron facilities to offer competitive capabilities with neutrons for many research areas compact. High Current Accelerator based Neutron Sources (HiCANS) are currently in...
A prototype Canadian compact accelerator-driven neutron source (PC-CANS) is proposed for installation at the University of Windsor. PC-CANS is designed to produce neutrons for science and BNCT and protons for PET isotope production. The source will utilize a high-intensity compact proton RF linear accelerator, delivering a peak current of 20 mA with a 5% duty factor of protons at 10 MeV to the...
