Neutron Moderator Development Research at the Low Energy Neutron Source
The Low Energy Neutron Source at Indiana University completed its construction phase roughly three years ago, and one of the more active research thrusts at the facility since that time has been our attempts to advance the state of the art in neutron moderation. This research program includes basic materials characterization, especially total neutron cross section measurements, as well as in-si...
متن کاملNeutronic Design and Measured Performance of the Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) Target Moderator Reflector Assembly
The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) is an accelerator-based pulsed cold neutron facility under construction at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF). The idea behind LENS is to produce pulsed cold neutron beams starting with ∼MeV neutrons from (p,n) reactions in Be which are moderated to meV energies and extracted from a small solid angle for use in neutron instruments which can ope...
متن کاملStatus of the low energy neutron source at Indiana University
The National Science Foundation has recently approved funding for LENS (the low energy neutron source) at Indiana University and construction of this facility has begun. LENS represents a new paradigm for economically introducing neutron scattering into a university or industrial setting. In this design, neutrons are produced in a long-pulse (1 ms) mode through (p,n) reactions on a water-cooled...
متن کاملThe Present Status of the Low Energy Neutron Source
The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) at Indiana University produced its first neutrons in late 2004, and has been engaged in a series of facility upgrades since that time. Among the important developments over the past two years have been the commissioning of klystron-based RF systems, the demonstration of beam peak proton beam currents of more than 20mA, and the low-power operation of a methan...
متن کاملThe Low Energy Neutron Source- Status and Prospects
The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) at Indiana University uses a novel design for a neutron source that is suitable for operation on a university or industrial scale. The source is based on (p,nx) reactions in Be and it will operate in a long-pulse mode with a cryogenic moderator optimized for long-wavelength performance. It is being constructed to fulfill a three-fold mission of conducting ma...
