ZEA-1 lecture on neutron microscopes at Wissenschaft online

Dr. Romuald Hanslik presented the development of a neutron microscope at the FZJ as part of the Science online lecture series. As part of the "Jülich High Brilliant Source" (HBS) project, a target-moderator-reflector unit (TMR) of the experimental test station for a high-current accelerator-driven neutron source (HiCANS) was designed and constructed in close cooperation between the JCNS, IKP and ZEA-1 institutes.

In his talk, Dr. Romuald Hanslik shared the challenges and experiences during the development, design and construction phase of the Target Moderator Reflector (TMR) unit.

Background

Due to their unique properties, neutrons can be used to study almost all types of matter on special neutron instruments. This makes them an ideal probe. As a counterpart to existing neutron sources such as research reactors or spallation sources, accelerator-driven, compact neutron sources (so-called HiCANS High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources) with low energy are regarded worldwide as the next generation of neutron sources.
