Scientific Reviews: 1-MW Pulse Sapllation Neutron Source (JSNS) of J-PARC

Pages 20-24 | Published online: 11 May 2006
 

Abstract

The J-PARC project has been in progress concerning the construction of experimental facilities along with high intensity proton accelerators, aimed at scientific breakthroughs in materials and life sciences, nuclear and elementary physics research, and the technological development of an accelerator-driven transmutation system [Citation1]. Most of the 3–GeV protons are extracted to be injected into a facility called the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF), in which a 1-MW pulse neutron source (JSNS) and a muon production target are located, sharing the beam in tandem fashion [Citation2]. A neutron beam with high performance of time resolution, along with high intensity in the 1-MW regime, will open realistic technological breakthroughs in the sciences of microscopic molecular dynamics; surface physics, magnetism; polymer; biology; structure and its functions; precise methods for analysis; dynamic visualization techniques; many industrial applications; and even evolution in cosmology and astrophysics.
