First Experiments: New Science Opportunities at the Spallation Neutron Source Second Target Station (abridged)
Year: 2020
Type: report
Abstract: This brochure is an abridged version of a more comprehensive companion report. DOE proposes to build a Second Target Station (STS) at SNS to produce beams of cold neutrons with world-leading peak brightness at a repetition rate of 15 Hz, providing broad energy/wavelength ranges that can be used simultaneously. Construction of the STS will provide transformative capabilities that allow thousands of users from national laboratories, universities, and industry to address grand scientific challenges [Hemminger 2015], advance energy research, and accelerate industrial innovations through the combination of cold (long-wavelength) neutrons of unprecedented peak brightness and short neutron pulses with broad ranges of usable wavelengths or energy. The STS Project, now in progress at ORNL, will design, construct, install, and commission the facilities and equipment needed to create a world-leading source of cold neutrons of unprecedented peak brightness at SNS. Key aspects of the STS design, including preliminary descriptions of an illustrative suite of eight instruments, are presented in the section “The STS at SNS.” The capabilities offered by the STS instruments (22 when fully built out) will complement those of the FTS and HFIR, providing the United States with unparalleled resources for neutron scattering at the world’s leading high–peak brightness cold neutron source.
