OUTLINE What/why is LENS? Neutronic design; what is unique about LENS? Why is LENS ideal for very cold netron development? Conclusions

What is LENS? Low Energy Neutron Source: based on low-energy (p,nx) reactions (Ep<13MeV) in Be. The source is tightly coupled to a cold moderator (e.g. solid CH4 at 3K<T<30K). LENS will have a variable pulse width (from ~10 ms to more than 1.0 ms). In long-pulse mode, LENS will have a time-averaged cold neutron intensity suitable for SANS and other materials research. A small number of scattering instruments will be developed to utilize these neutrons. Budget : $14 M+ for construction; $1.5M/yr operations

Shin kernel: Total cross section The NJOY curve is the cross section computed by NJOY from the frequency spectrum Shin’s kernel produces. It does not adequately account for the elevated cross section at lower temperatures due to the temperature dependence of the total spin projection (and presumably this accounts for the discrepancy at frequencies below 4meV).

Conclusions LENS has been producing cold neutrons for some time, and has recently done so at its second target station. Neutronic performance is within 20% of predictions at low E (cold and thermal). Spectral temperature of <30K has been realized, and work is underway to reduce this. This will be a major goal for the project over the next 3 years. Future improvements to neutronics should increase cold flux by more than 30% (more on this tomorrow). We have started to explore new materials, and are looking for more ideas in this area!
