The University of Birmingham has operated several accelerators since the 1940s and in December 2023, the new High Flux Accelerator-Driven Neutron Facility (HF-ADNeF) was commissioned. At its heart is a high-current 2.6 MV proton / deuteron accelerator, capable of 30-50 mA. A high-power, rotating lithium target can generate 1e12 neutrons/cm^2/s via the Li-7(p,n)Be-7 reaction.
