Abstract

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a major new user facility for materials research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is under construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), see the Spallation Neutron Source web site at: www.sns.gov/aboutsns/source/htm. The SNS will operate at a proton beam power of 1.4 MW delivered in short pulses at 60 Hz; this power level is an order of magnitude higher than that of the current most intense pulsed spallation neutron facility in the world, ISIS at the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory in the United Kingdom: 160 kW at 50 Hz. When completed in 2006, the SNS will supply the research community with neutron beams of unprecedented intensity and a powerful, diverse instrument suite with exceptional capabilities. Together, these will enable a new generation of experimental studies of interest to chemists, condensed matter physicists, biologists, materials scientists, and engineers, in an ever-increasing range of applications. The Long-Wavelength Target Station (LWTS) complements the High-Power Target Station (HPTS) facility, which is already under construction, and will leverage the significant investment in the remainder of the complex, providing important new scientific opportunities. The fully equipped SNS will offer capabilities for neutron scattering studies of the structure and dynamics ofmore »« less

Remote Handling in the Spallation Neutron Source Target Facility

Journal Article Rennich, Mark J ; Burgess, Thomas W - Nuclear News

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a new Department of Energy facility located at ORNL, is the latest step in the development of accelerator-based neutron research facilities. SNS boasts a tenfold increase in neutron production over the most powerful short-pulse spallation facility in existence today, ISIS, located at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the United Kingdom. It will ultimately be powered by a 2-MW, 1-GeV, 1-MHz proton linear accelerator measuring 1100 feet in length. One thousand beam pulses will be bunched in a ring and then directed to a flowing liquid mercury target that will convert the protons to a pulsemore »« less
Pulsed Neutron Powder Diffraction for Materials Science

Journal Article Kamiyama, T - AIP Conference Proceedings

The accelerator-based neutron diffraction began in the end of 60's at Tohoku University which was succeeded by the four spallation neutron facilities with proton accelerators at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (Japan), Argonne National Laboratory and Los Alamos Laboratory (USA), and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK). Since then, the next generation source has been pursued for 20 years, and 1MW-class spallation neutron sources will be appeared in about three years at the three parts of the world: Japan, UK and USA. The joint proton accelerator project (J-PARC), a collaborative project between KEK and JAEA, is one of them. The aimmore »« less

Neutronics studies for a long-wavelength target station at SNS.

Conference Micklich, B J ; Iverson, E B ; Carpenter, J M

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), under construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will be the premier facility for neutron scattering studies in the United States. From the outset the SNS can achieve additional flexibility and accommodate a broader range of scientific investigation than would be possible with only the High Power Target Station by utilizing two target stations, each operating under a separate set of conditions and optimized for a certain class of instruments. A second target station, termed the Long-Wavelength Target Station (LWTS), would operate at a lower pulse rate (e.g., 10 vs. 60 Hz) and utilize very coldmore »« less

Conference Johnson, J O

The Department of Energy (DOE) has given the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project approval to begin Title I design of the proposed facility to be built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and construction is scheduled to commence in FY01 . The SNS initially will consist of an accelerator system capable of delivering an {approximately}0.5 microsecond pulse of 1 GeV protons, at a 60 Hz frequency, with 1 MW of beam power, into a single target station. The SNS will eventually be upgraded to a 2 MW facility with two target stations (a 60 Hz station and a 10 Hzmore »« less
