Another Important Step for the High Brilliance Neutron Source HBS at FZ Jülich. The German Science and Humanities Council has highlighted the scientific and strategic importance of the planned High Brilliance Neutron Source, in the development of which Goethe University is involved. In its statement released March 27th, it expressly recommends that the first phase of the facility, known as HBS-I, be implemented at Forschungszentrum Jülich. https://lnkd.in/db8ynVfG). The center piece of HBS-I is a 20 MeV, 100 mA Proton Linear Accelerator capable to operate at 25% duty factor. HBS-I is based on the Technical Design Report of HBS which is designed for 70 MeV protons. The TDR can be found here: https://lnkd.in/drA2Wn4Q Congratulations to the whole HBS Team and many thanks to the council members for their great effort.
