Low-dimensional moderators were designed for the European Spallation Source (ESS), and the same concepts can be applied to compact sources. At ESS, quasi two-dimensional (2D) high-brightness moderators will serve all the instruments of the initial suite. The design of the moderators is influenced by several factors, such as the layout of the facility, the requirements for beam extraction, and the number of instruments; these constraints led to the choice of the 2D “butterfly” moderator for ESS. In an accelerator-based compact source, such moderators can be designed in an even more efficient way than for high-power sources, taking advantage of the lower heat loads and of the more compact arrangement of the target-moderator system, which gives more freedom in the optimization of the geometrical setup. Some promising design options have been explored.

AbstractIoT devices become more and more popular which implies a growing interest in easily maintainable and battery-independent power sources, as wires and batteries are unpractical in application scenarios where billions of devices get deployed. To keep the costs low and to achieve the smallest possible form factor, SoC implementations with integrated energy harvesting and power management units are a welcome innovation.On-chip energy harvesting solutions are typically only capable of supplying power in the order of microwatts. A significant design challenge exists for the functional blocks of the IoT-SoC as well as for the power management unit itself as the harvested voltage has to be converted to a higher and more usable voltage. Simultaneously, the power management blocks have to be as efficient as possible with the lowest possible quiescent currents.In this paper, we provide a look at on-chip microwatt power management. Starting with the energy-harvesting from RF power or light, we then show state-of-the-art implementations of ultra-low power voltage references and ultra-low power low-dropout regulator (LDO) designs.
