Accelerator design choices for a compact, electron-driven, pulsed neutron source

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Neutron scattering is an indispensable technique in material science research for providing solutions to important engineering challenges, including the ever-growing demand for more efficient batteries and fuel-cells. There are, however, limitations in the access and availability to the necessary neutron beams and this is worsening as nuclear research reactors continue to shut down. As a result, there appears to be market demand for an affordable, medium-flux, compact, accelerator-driven neutron source optimised for deployment in an industrial setting. In this paper, we present an overview of the beam specification and the high-level design choices for an electron linear accelerator that is optimised to drive such a facility.
