The neutron Time of Flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a source of high flux of neutrons obtained by the spallation process of 20 GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target and the remarkable beam intensity of the Proton Synchrotron (PS). From Nov 2008 the n_TOF facility resumed operation after a halt of 4 years due to radio-protection issues. It features a new lead spallation target, new cooling...

At the superconducting electron linear accelerator ELBE at Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf the neutron time-of-flight facility nELBE has become operational.
Fast neutrons in the energy range from ca. 0.1 to 10 MeV are produced by the pulsed electron beam from ELBE impinging on a liquid lead circuit as a radiator.
The short beam pulses of ~10 ps provide the basis for an excellent time...

This paper describes the facilities at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory for generating monoenergetic and broad-spectrum fast neutron fields.
Monoenergetic neutrons within the energy range 50 keV - 17 MeV are produced, via a variety of nuclear reactions, by directing charged particle beams from the Neutron Metrology Group's 3.5 MV Van de Graaff accelerator on to appropriate...

The “Neutrons for Science” (NFS) will one of the SPIRAL-2 experimental areas. NFS, expected to be operational in 2012, will be composed of a pulsed neutron beam for in-flight measurements and an irradiation station for activation measurements and material studies.
The beams delivered by the high-power superconducting driver LINAC of the SPIRAL-2 facility will allow producing intense pulsed...

The study of neutron induced reactions is of interest to various disciplines in science and technology. The neutron time-of-flight facility GELINA installed at the IRMM Geel (B) has been designed to study neutron-induced reactions in the resonance region. It is a multi-user facility, providing a pulsed white neutron source, with a neutron energy range between 10 meV and 20 MeV and a time...
