ORNL aims to enhance the capabilities of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) by adding a new target station. The STS project ...

They are the world's brightest source of neutrons for research. As accelerators can be readily pulsed, spallation sources are generally pulsed neutron sources, unlike most reactors that generate ...

As ISIS – the UK’s muon and neutron source – turns 40, Rosie de Laune and colleagues from ISIS explore the past, present and future of neutron scattering ...

Steven Lamoreaux is an atomic physicist whose research has contributed to our understanding of the dark matter that is bound ...

Hesheng Chen, a researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, reported to the forum on progress at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS ...

Utilizing neutron scattering at the Spallation Neutron Source and the High Flux Isotope Reactor, the scientists at the ...

"For such measurements, a nuclear reactor is often used as the neutron source," explains Benjamin Koch. "Free neutrons are produced during radioactive decay in the reactor. These free neutrons can ...

Between 1992 and 1997 he conceived and co-realized the time-of-flight spectrometer FOCUS at the neutron spallation source SINQ of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). He then spent two years at the ...
