5. Towards the Development of a Compact Very Cold Neutron Source for the High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS)

Dr Dalini Maharaj (JCNS-2, Forschungszentrum Jülich)

2025-02-27, 11:10 a.m.

Invited Talk (Category for invited speakers only)

Very cold neutron (VCN) sources present an exciting opportunity for scientists to access unprecedented length and time scales, and achieve improved resolution in neutron experiments [1]. VCNs are defined over a wide spectral range, from 1 meV (9 Å) down to a few hundred neV (> several 100 Å). Recent advancements in the development of thermal scattering kernels for candidate very cold neutron...

35. A Proposal for the ICONE Cold Neutron Moderator

Richard Wagner (Laboratoire Léon Brillouin, CEA Saclay)

Contributed Oral

Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources (CANS) and their high current variants (HiCANS) with a notably larger neutron yield, have the potential to become an important part in the currently ongoing transformation of the neutron research landscape. One particular effort is the ICONE project, an initiative to build a French HiCANS to serve the needs of the French neutron scattering community...

2. Conceptual Designs for Thermal, Cold, and Very Cold Neutron Moderator Systems for CANS

Prof. Rolando Granada (CNEA)

2025-02-27, 12:10 p.m.

Contributed Oral

In recent years there has been a renewed interest in the development of compact neutron sources, as an alternative to large facilities based on reactor or accelerator installations. In fact, compact accelerator-driven neutron sources (CANS) have been in operation for a long time, but different circumstances have recently prompted the design and development of new high intensity CANS projects...
