A New High-Intensity Source for Ultracold Neutrons

K. Abe, S. Ahmed, B. Algohi +78

The TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration has completed a new superthermal source for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) at TRIUMF. Neutrons produced in a spallation targe…

Optimizing neutron moderators for a spallation-driven ultracold-neutron source at TRIUMF

W. Schreyer, C. A. Davis, S. Kawasaki +5

We report on our efforts to optimize the geometry of neutron moderators and converters for the TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) source using MCNP simulations. It will use…

First ultracold neutrons produced at TRIUMF

S. Ahmed, E. Altiere, T. Andalib +50

We installed a source for ultracold neutrons at a new, dedicated spallation target at TRIUMF. The source was originally developed in Japan and uses a superfluid-helium converter co…
