Abstract

Compact accelerator-driven neutron sources allow to operate multiple optimised target-moderator-reflector (TMR) units adapted to the requirements of the respective instruments. The compact design of the TMR units allows an efficient coupling of neutron production, neutron moderation and extraction, but requires a novel way of optimisation. The neutronic performance of different TMR units based on polyethylene, heavy water and a mixture of heavy and light water moderators together with Pb and Be reflectors and a borated polyethylene absorber is discussed. Extraction channels for thermal and cold neutrons are investigated regarding the energy and time spectra.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
