The High-Brilliance Neutron Source project (HBS) aims at developing a medium-flux accelerator-driven neutron source based on a 70 MeV, 100 mA proton accelerator. The concept optimizes the facility such that it provides high-brilliance neutron beams for instruments operating at different time structures. This can be realized by generating an interlaced proton pulse structure, which is unraveled and sent to three different target stations by a multiplexer system. In the following we present the developments of a multiplexer system at the JULIC accelerator at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH (FZJ), which serves as test facility for HBS. The main components of the JULIC multiplexer system are designed to be scalable to the HBS parameters.

The High-Brilliance neutron Source project (HBS) aims at developing a medium-flux acceleratordriven neutron source based on a 70 MeV, 100mA proton accelerator. The concept intends to optimize the facility such that it provides high-brilliance neutron beams for instruments operating at di_erent time structures. This can be realized by three di_erent target stations irradiated with di_erent proton pulse sequences. The appropriate proton pulses will be distributed by a Multiplexer unit. In the following, we present the integration of this Multiplexer with the HBS beam optics as well as ongoing developments of this unit and several components of the Multiplexer at the COSY facility in Jülich.

Facility Construction

The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) are promoting a plan to construct a 1MW neutron source facility at the Tokai Research Establishment, JAERI, under the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) Project. In the facility, 1 MW pulsed proton beam from a high-intensity proton accelerator will be injected into a mercury target in order to produce high-intensity pulse neutrons for use in the fields of life and material sciences. In order to realize such a high-power neutron source, the design activity of a cross flow type (CFT) mercury target and its peripheral devices has continued and the results is reflected in the ordering specifications of the facility construction. The arrangement of each component and their structure was optimized through experimental and analytical studies. In this paper, the present design of the mercury target components for 1MW spallation neutron source including the target vessel, a mercury circulation system, and a target trolley will be reported.

We describe the Compact Accelerator-based Neutron Source SONATE which we are aiming for to replace the closed Orphée reactor at Saclay, France. The SONATE source would serve an instrumental suite of about 10 instruments. The instruments would be split into low resolution instruments and higher resolution instruments. Our reference design is based on a proton accelerator operating at an energy in the range 20-30 MeV. The accelerator would serve 2 target stations. The first one operating at 20Hz with 2ms long pulses serving low resolution instruments (SANS, reflectivity, imaging, spin-echo) and the second one operating at 100Hz, 200μs long pulses serving higher resolution instruments (powder diffraction, Direct Time-of-flight spectroscopy, Indirect geometry spectroscopy). The 2 operation modes would be interlaced. The peak current on the target is aimed at 100 mA with an average power on the target on the order of 50-80 kW. Numerical Monte-Carlo simulations show that we may expect instrument performances equivalent to the current instruments around Orphée or ISIS.
