Description
Recently, a large number of applications involving high-energy neutrons have become
important. Accelerator-driven systems (ADS) for transmutation of spent nuclear fuel
and nuclear weapons materials, fast-neutron cancer therapy, dose effects to the crew
onboard aircraft due to cosmic-ray neutrons, as well as electronics failures induced
by atmospheric neutrons have all got increasing attention.
In this talk, I will give some examples of recent achievements in the field, and
outline experimental opportunities at the CERN NTOF facility in a near future, as
well as possibilities at the future CERN beta-beam facility under consideration.
