Development of a compact neutron source

What is it about?

The Applied Nuclear Physics Group at Lund University is constructing a prototype CANS (Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source). This CANS is based around an electrostatic accelerator, which is used to impinge deuterium beam into a beryllium target, producing neutrons. The design and simulation of the CANS are presented.

Why is it important?

The motivation for the development of a CANS at Lund University is to expand the existing efforts in neutron related research. Applications will include: neutron activation analysis; development of novel instruments and methods for the purposes of nuclear safeguards; to test and categorise detectors for neutron scattering instrumentation; for work on thermal-neutron tagging; and as an educational platform.
