Mercury target systems are a cornerstone in modern spallation neutron sources, where high-energy proton beams induce spallation reactions in liquid mercury to produce intense neutron fluxes required ...
One for the future The China Spallation Neutron Source will produce neutron beams with a power of 100 kW. (Courtesy: CSNS) Amid the endless green lychee orchards near China’s southern coastline lies ...
As Europe’s neutron supply could fall by as much as half within the next couple of decades, newly developed sources could stave off the decline, as Jon Cartwright reports Smaller and better?
