چکیده
Abstract The Applied Nuclear Physics Group at Lund University has constructed a CANS (Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source). is based around 3 MV, single-ended, Pelletron accelerator, which used to impinge 2.8 MeV deuterium beam into beryllium target. anticipated neutron production will be on the order of 10 n/s in 4π sr, with future upgrades expected increase 11 n/s. energy up 9 peak emission ∼5 MeV. Shielding and moderation provided by large water tank surrounding target, exit ports allow moderated neutrons directed experiments. thermal-neutron flux extraction 6 n/cm 2 /s. forward activities group area neutron-activation analysis, addition broader range related applications.

Accelerator-Driven Neutron Source for Cargo Screening
Advanced neutron interrogation systems for screening sea-land cargo containers for shielded special nuclear materials (SNM) require a high-yield neutron source to achieve the desired detection probability, false alarm rate, and throughput. The design of an accelerator-driven neutron source is described that utilizes the D(d,n)He reaction to produce a forward directed beam of up to 8.5 MeV neutr...
متن کاملCompact Pulsed Hadron Source - a University-based Accelerator Platform for Multidisciplinary Neutron and Proton Applications*
During the past decades, large-scale national neutron sources were developed in Asia, Europe, and North America. Complementing such efforts, compact hadron beam complexes and neutron sources intended to serve primarily universities and industrial institutes were proposed and some have recently been established. Responding to the demand in China for multidisciplinary fundamental and applied rese...
متن کاملThe Physics Problem of the Spallation Neutron Production Source Related to Accelerator-driven Systems
In present work, the SHIELD code system have been used to investigate the physics properties of spallation neutron target, such as the neutron spectra, the yield, the radioactivity in the target and the target size etc. The fragment mass distribution of the residual nuclei from proton-induced spallation reaction on thick lead target with energy 1.6 GeV have been analysed also. Radiation damage,...
متن کاملCompact Accelerator Based Neutron Source for 99mTc Production
The radioisotope Technetium-99m (99mTc) is used in 85% of all nuclear medicine procedures. 99mTc is produced from its precursor Molybdenum-99 (99Mo), whose production is nearly all from one of only five ageing research reactors. Recently a number of accelerator-based methods have been proposed to fill this gap and to diversify this supply chain. In this paper we present a compact (4 m) 10 mA, 3...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), currently under construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with an anticipated start-up in early 2006, will provide the most intense pulsed beams of cold neutrons in the world. At a projected power of 1.4 MW, the time averaged fluxes and fluences of the SNS will approach those of high flux reactors. One of the flight paths on the cold, coupled moderator w...
