Abstract:
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), presently the highest power spallation neutron source worldwide, is in the final stages of its power upgrade from 1.4 to 2.8 MW. I will discuss the facility performance with particular focus on the opportunities offered by the high power to support applications in addition to the primary neutron scattering mission. A few kW of extracted beam can support applications such as irradiation and isotope production, and a portfolio of fundamental physics experiments.
