Abstract
The J-PARC JSNS target station is a 1-MW source and will receive 333μA of 3-GeV protons. The proton pulse will have a width of 1μs and a repetition rate of 25-Hz. Those parameters for the accelerator have been well considered from neutron experimental points of view, and will provide a very high performance and uniqueness concerning the instrument suite at JSNS. The repetition rate of 25-Hz will give a wide dynamical range in one frame for time-of-flight measurements and a high impulse intensity for each neutron burst. The repetition rate of 25-Hz is a great compromise to satisfy both high-energy spectroscopy and slow-neutron experiments, and is also good for high-resolution instruments with long flight paths.
