Particle Physics at the European Spallation Source
H. Abele, A. Alekou, A. Algora +176
Presently under construction in Lund, Sweden, the European Spallation Source (ESS) will be the world's brightest neutron source. As such, it has the potential for a particle physic…
Simulated Fast Neutron Instrument Backgrounds at a MW Spallation Source
Phil Bentley
Like every megaproject, the European Spallation Source (ESS) currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, has had to make a number of inevitable compromises to remain within budge…
Self-Shielding Copper Substrate Neutron Supermirror Guides
P. M. Bentley, R. Hall-Wilton, C. P. Cooper-Jensen +5
The invention of self-shielding copper substrate neutron guides is described, along with the rationale behind the development, and the realisation of commercial supply. The relativ…
New high-sensitivity searches for neutrons converting into antineutrons and/or sterile neutrons at the European Spallation Source
A. Addazi, K. Anderson, S. Ansell +92
The violation of Baryon Number, , is an essential ingredient for the preferential creation of matter over antimatter needed to account for the observed baryon asymmetr…
Simulating neutron transport in long beamlines at a spallation neutron source using Geant4
Douglas D. DiJulio, Isak Svensson, Xiao Xiao Cai +2
The transport of neutrons in long beamlines at spallation neutron sources presents a unique challenge for Monte-Carlo transport calculations. This is due to the need to accurately…
Study of neutron shielding collimators for curved beamlines at the European Spallation Source
V. Santoro, D. D. DiJulio, S. Ansell +3
The European Spallation Source is being constructed in Lund, Sweden and is planned to be the world's brightest pulsed spallation neutron source for cold and thermal neutron beams (…
The neutron tagging facility at Lund University
F. Messi, H. Perrey, K. Fissum +27
Over the last decades, the field of thermal neutron detection has overwhelmingly employed He-3-based technologies. The He-3 crisis together with the forthcoming establishment of th…
Measurements and Monte-Carlo simulations of the particle self-shielding effect of B4C grains in neutron shielding concrete
D. D. DiJulio, C. P. Cooper-Jensen, I. Llamas-Jansa +2
A combined measurement and Monte-Carlo simulation study was carried out in order to characterize the particle self-shielding effect of B4C grains in neutron shielding concrete. Sev…
Cost Optimisation of an Instrument Suite at an Accelerator-Driven Spallation Source
P. M. Bentley, C. S. Zendler, O. Kirstein
This artcile presents an optimisation of performance and cost of neutron scattering instrumentation at the European Spallation Source. This is done by trading detailed cost functio…
MeV Neutron Production from Thermal Neutron Capture in {6}^Li Simulated with Geant4
Valentina Santoro, Douglas D. Di Julio, Phillip M. Bentley
Various Li compounds are commonly used at neutron facilities as neutron absorbers. These compounds provide one of the highest ratios of neutron attenuation to -ray production. U…
Generic guide concepts for the European Spallation Source
C. Zendler, D. Martin Rodriguez, P. M. Bentley
The construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) faces many challenges from the neutron beam transport point of view: The spallation source is specified as being driven by…
Overcoming High Energy Backgrounds at Pulsed Spallation Sources
Nataliia Cherkashyna, Richard J. Hall-Wilton, Douglas D. DiJulio +18
Instrument backgrounds at neutron scattering facilities directly affect the quality and the efficiency of the scientific measurements that users perform. Part of the background at…
Correction of Optical Aberrations in Elliptic Neutron Guides
Phillip M. Bentley, Shane J. Kennedy, Ken H. Andersen +2
Modern, nonlinear ballistic neutron guides are an attractive concept in neutron beam delivery and instrumentation, because they offer increased performance over straight or linearl…
