DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ulrich Rücker (JCNS-HBS\, Forschungszentrum Jülich
  GmbH)\n\nAbstract: Thermal and cold neutrons are an important tool for s
 olid-state physics and engineering investigations. In history\, research n
 eutrons have been provided by fission reactors and spallation neutron sour
 ces. More and more fission reactors are being shut down due to their age a
 nd the provision of new spallation sources is very costly\, not only due t
 o the high energy and high current proton accelerator which is necessary.T
 he Jülich Centre for Neutron Science JCNS has started the HBS project ("H
 igh Brilliance neutron Source") to develop a cost-efficient research neutr
 on source based on low energy (some 10 MeV) (p\,n) nuclear reactions. Rece
 ntly\, the Technical Design Report for a user facility has been published 
 and a technology demonstrator at low proton intensity has been brought int
 o operation successfully and helped to prove the feasibility and the perfo
 rmance of this kind of facility.In my talk\, I will present the physics be
 hind the HBS neutron source in comparison to the previous approaches and s
 ome of the technological innovations necessary to build an efficient resea
 rch neutron source based on this principle. Join Zoom Meetinghttps://uni-
